In September of 1999 Dan Bailey purchased his first truck, it was a logging truck. He logged from September 1999 to September of 2002 for Wilcox logging of Rexburg, ID. When the logging Market declined. He decided to go to Nevada and work on road construction projects.
When he went to Nevada he took his one truck, he had no trailers. He worked for Dixon Trucking, pulling their trailers up until March of 2004. During this time he puchased another truck. He decided that he was going to make a go of the business, so at that time he decided to purchase more trucks and his own trailers. In January 2004 Dans youngest son JD joined the company. He is now the owner and president of Dan Bailey Trucking.
DBT went to work for Capurro trucking during the month of April 2004 on the Carson City Nevada bypass freeway. During this time DBT ran 5 trucks and trailers for Capurro. We worked for them up until November of 2005 when the Real Estate slow down crippled the Northern Nevada trucking industry. At that time it was decided that DBT should move to Utah because there was plenty of work.
DBT landed its first big contract upon arriving in Utah working for Weber County Constructers in May of 2006 on the $238 million dollar I-15 now project. DBT ran its now 10 trucks around the clock on this project. We also brought in 25 subhaulers at the request of the contractor. The I-15 Now job was completed during the month of September 2008.
Dan Bailey passed away during this project and day to day operations were taken over by JD Bailey with Bonnie Bailey becoming the sole owner. Bonnie continued to take care of the administrative duties for the company.
The company continued to grow and prosper. Between 2008 and 2012 DBT completed many large projects. The South Layton Interchange was one of these projects, DBT ran 15 trucks 24 hours a day 7 days a week for 4 months to complete the import of materials for this project. DBT then traveled to Idaho to work on the US93 twin falls bypass project for WW Clyde between 2009-2010. We considered ourselves very fortunate to have these projects as many companies were struggling as this was the peak period of the financial crisis.
In the fall of 2010, we started work on the first 15 miles of the Mountain View corridor project a $245 million-dollar 3-year project. DBT ran upward of 100 trucks on this project between our own trucks as well as our sub-haulers. This project was proof to the construction world that DBT could complete a project of any size. We were now a well-known company, and new doors were opened. At the end of this project Bonnie Bailey unfortunately passed away. JD wanted to complete his moms and dads dream and took over as President of DBT.
