THOMAS LONG & SON TRUCKING

Thomas Long & Son Trucking specializes in heavy-duty road maintenance and emergency infrastructure repair within federal forest lands, with core expertise in surface grading, blading, and flood-damaged road restoration. The contractor delivers precision earthmoving and roadbed stabilization services using heavy equipment to maintain access routes in remote, environmentally sensitive terrain. Their technical proficiency includes seasonal grading cycles, unpaved road surfacing, and rapid-response reconstruction after weather-related disruptions, ensuring compliance with USDA Forest Service standards for sustainable forest management. Key differentiators include agility in harsh, off-road environments and proven ability to execute time-sensitive operations under challenging logistical constraints, often in areas with limited infrastructure. The contractor maintains a consistent, long-term relationship with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, specifically serving the Forest Service across multiple ranger districts. Their work focuses on maintaining and restoring forest access roads critical for fire response, resource management, and public recreation, with recurring assignments in the Superior National Forest and other Region 9 sites. This pattern reflects a trusted partnership built on reliability, seasonal readiness, and adherence to federal environmental and safety protocols. Thomas Long & Son Trucking operates primarily under NAICS 237310, which encompasses highway, street, and bridge construction—though their actual scope centers on rural and forest road infrastructure rather than urban or interstate systems. They are positioned as a niche provider of specialized earthwork and road rehabilitation services in federally managed wilderness areas, distinguishing themselves through localized operational knowledge and responsiveness to natural resource agency needs. As a small business structured as a 2K entity, the company is based in Orr, Minnesota, with a focused geographic footprint aligned with USDA Forest Service operations in the Upper Midwest. While no federal certifications are listed, their consistent performance on high-stakes, mission-critical assignments demonstrates strong government market credibility and operational reliability in a highly specialized segment of federal infrastructure contracting.
