Overview
With the advent of transport refrigeration in the late 1950’s, Stokes Fish Company, established in 1931, began to transport its own fresh seafood on refrigerated trucks to the Midwest United States. At that time, Stokes Fish Company specialized in wild catfish, Gulf shrimp and other seafood from the Florida waters.
In 1952 Beryl “Sonny” Stokes Jr. began working in his family’s business after serving in the Air Force as a commissioned officer. Sonny is still very active in the company and is currently the Chairman and CEO of the company. In 1961 Stokes Fish Company formed Lake Trucking Company as an ICC licensed trucking company. The ICC license provided a new entity that could not only move Stokes seafood, but other companies seafood as well, and could also transport other products back from the Midwest to Florida.

We have been working with Thea at Lake for a little over a year, and I wish we found them sooner. They have been handling dedicated reefer freight for us from the Midwest to FL. They make the process so rinse and repeat that it seems automatic. Very little worry when our freight is in their hands.
- Dislikes
As most good dedicated partners, I just wish we had more freight to fill their trucks.
