About Us
From the trucking yard to the fabrication floor
The Kirkpatrick family has been in trucking since 1938, when their father, Seth, founded Kirkpatrick Trucking. After selling the fleet in 1995, Bob and Terry turned their attention to the next challenge — building tanks that truckers could depend on. Starting in a small workshop, they spent years designing and fabricating their own production equipment, often working nights and weekends to bring AlumiTank to life. They focused first on integrity and quality — every weld, every fitting, every baffle — and that commitment quickly earned the trust of drivers, mechanics, and major logistics companies nationwide.
Our Values
From the beginning, AlumiTank has been built around three core principles. That mindset has fueled over 30 years of steady growth, allowing AlumiTank to serve everyone from local truckers to major carriers like UPS, Union Pacific, and R+L Carriers.
Do it right, even when it’s hard.
Treat every customer — from single-truck owner-operators to national fleets — with equal respect and urgency.
Our welders are artists. Every tank reflects decades of experience and attention to detail.
