Stagecoach Cartage and Distribution, Inc is an integrated company that provides a full range of transportation and warehousing services. The company's name and logo depicting a rugged, hard driving stagecoach were well chosen. With El Paso's old west history and border location, the entrepreneurial spirit began when Stagecoach was founded in 1986 by John R. McLaughlin. His 27-year career in the U.S. Army as a member of both the elite groups of Special Forces and Green Berets helped him build a successful company on the principles of strength, honesty, integrity and progressive thinking.

Under his leadership and guidance, Stagecoach was recognized in INC, Magazine as one of the 500 fastest growing companies in the United States. In 1999, Stagecoach was ranked one of the top 100 fastest growing privately held inner-city companies in America and became ISO 9002 certified.

After John McLaughlin's death in 1998, the company has continued its phenomenal growth. Stagecoach remains a family-owned business with John's son Scott serving as president and son Dieter as vice president. Controller Don Anderson, with the company since 1988, is also vice president.

Stagecoach also remains headquartered in El Paso with offices throughout Texas and New Mexico. A bonded carrier providing regional and local transportation, freight forwarding and commercial warehousing as well as local and nationwide distribution, the business is constantly expanding.

Yet while the size of the fleet and number of employees increase, new technology is acquired and innovative services are added, one thing never changes. The standard of excellence left by John McLaughlin is incorporated into the day-to-day operations. His legacy of focusing on the needs of the customer grows stronger every year, mile after mile.
