From Dairy Trucking to Oversized Hauling

Papenfuss Trucking Enjoys Steady Growth

Johnny and Amy Papenfuss, a husband-and-wife team, took the plunge and formed Papenfuss Trucking in 2012 after Johnny had spent some time dairy farming and driving a truck under his dad’s authority. Six years later, Papenfuss Trucking is a successful 20-truck operation in Perham, Minnesota. That growth comes with the help of Apex factoring since 2013 and a slew of other Apex tools, including our credit checks, fuel card program, and back-office support. Oh, and Papenfuss Trucking is also the winner of the Apex Capital Client Calendar 2019 cover contest. Don’t miss a look at their beautiful winning entry.

Apex Startup Trucking Company Celebrates First Successful Year in Business

Don and Stephanie Gumfory of Burleson, Texas started their trucking company, Gumfory Holdings, through the Apex Startup Program. Now they are great Apex factoring clients. They recently celebrated their first year in business and as Don says, “We are blessed.” In that year they learned to nurture dedicated lanes (hauling milk) and be open to flexibility (hauling steel and cotton). Don kept Apex by their side every step of the way, from saving on startup fees because Stephanie is a veteran to saving big on diesel with the Apex TCS Fuel Card. Don, who left a steady company driver position complete with benefits because he wanted to be his own boss, hasn’t looked back one bit. He’s ready to put in the work to ensure more Gumfory Holdings celebrations.
