Our Story | Lamar Trailers | Trailers That Last

(Our Story)

humble beginnings

Lamar began in 2003 in a small red barn with two men, a few tools, and a clear purpose: to do honest, meaningful work. It wasn’t about building a big business. It was about building a life- taking care of family, serving others, and making something that lasts.

Honor God

This isn’t just how we started—it’s the standard we still live by. Our faith shapes how we build, how we lead, and how we treat people. Our mission is to empower families as we build His Kingdom—one trailer, one job, one day at a time.

Serve Humbly

We don’t chase recognition—we focus on doing what’s right. From our founder’s example to the way we show up every day, we aim to lead with stewardship, faithfulness, and care for others.

Keep it Simple

By following lean principles, we improve every day without cutting corners, so you get a trailer that works harder, lasts longer, and saves you time. At the heart of it, it’s about doing right by people—building better trailers and serving better, one step at a time.

Where
We Are Now

We’ve come a long way since the days of that small red barn—but what drives us hasn’t changed.

We’re still rooted right here in Sumner, Texas. Now with over 200 team members and more than 130,000 trailers built, we’re building more than products—we’re building something that lasts.

At Lamar, we believe in doing work that matters. Work that supports families. Work we’re proud to hand off to the next generation.

Our mission is simple: to empower families as we build God’s Kingdom. That means putting people first in every decision—from how we build our trailers to how we care for our team.

We do that by sticking to our core values. We honor God. We serve humbly. And we keep things simple.

We also believe in getting better every day. Since 2016, we’ve embraced 2-Second Lean—a daily habit of continuous improvement that helps us serve each other, our customers, and our mission better.

When you work with Lamar, you’re not just buying a trailer—you’re supporting the hands that built it and the families they go home to.

What’s Next?

Looking Ahead

We’re looking ahead with the same spirit that got us started.

Focused Growth

As we grow, we’re focused on what matters —building dependable trailers, creating stable jobs, and being a company people can count on. That means listening closely, learning daily, and staying grounded in our values.

Gratitude & Community

We’re grateful for the road ahead and for the people we get to share it with. From our family to yours — thank you.

Trailers that last.

For God's glory.
