Miller Trucking and Excavating was founded in 1947 by brothers Bill and Herb Miller. The business primarily excavated residential home foundations and occasionally branched into minor commercial work.

In 1968, the second generation of brothers, Jeral and Joel, inherited the company and continued joint partnership until 1973. At that point, Jeral became sole owner and president of Miller Trucking and Excavating, Inc. Miller Trucking and Excavating diversified the business in the late 1980s to incorporate larger commercial type site work projects along with their already established residential contracts.

Throughout the 1990’s, Miller Trucking and Excavating began to accelerate their rate of growth and diversity to meet the construction demands required in the Quad City area. These aspects included; site development and grading, underground utility installation, commercial site construction, concrete and asphalt paving, demolition, etc.

By 1998, a third generation of Millers, Jarrod and Justin, had taken over day-to-day operations and began laying out a new roadmap for company growth. Continuing in the tradition of company expansion, Jarrod and Justin purchased a mobile concrete recycling plant to assist the company with disposal of concrete and asphalt debris, Miller Materials.

In 2005, the company moved operations into an 11 acre office and warehouse complex along John Deere Road in Silvis, IL.

Miller Trucking and Excavating first commitment has always been to maintain a high level of service, quality workmanship, and customer satisfaction with every project they perform. The company is continually striving to diversify operations in order to offer the most complete customer service available.
