Godfrey Trucking is more than a transportation company—it is the continuation of a legacy built on grit, innovation, and an unwavering commitment to performance.

Built on Legacy. Driven by Performance.
Built on Legacy.
Driven by Performance.
Founded in 1965 by Dick Godfrey after leaving his role at NASA and returning to Utah, the company was established with a clear vision: deliver dependable transportation services with integrity, consistency, and a personal level of care. From the very beginning, the Godfrey family built their reputation the same way they still operate today—through hard work, strong relationships, and doing things the right way.
In 1989, Scott Godfrey took ownership of the company, continuing to expand its capabilities while preserving the core values it was founded on. Today, Godfrey Trucking remains family-owned and operated, with a culture rooted in reliability, accountability, and long-term partnerships.



A Legacy Fueled by Motorsports
The Godfrey name has long been synonymous with performance—not just on the road, but on the track.
In the 1960s, Dick Godfrey played a pivotal role in shaping the motorsports landscape in Utah. His contributions helped establish one of the first organized drag racing environments in the Salt Lake Valley, ultimately leading to the creation of Bonneville Raceway in West Valley City, which opened in July 1967.
Bonneville Raceway quickly became the premier racing destination in the region, hosting:
• NHRA-style drag racing
• Funny car and Top Fuel competitions
• Stock car oval racing
• Motorcycle and motocross events
Over the years, performance at the track evolved from speeds nearing 180 mph to over 260 mph—mirroring the same commitment to progress and innovation that defines Godfrey Trucking today.

From the Track to the Global Stage
The Godfrey family’s influence didn’t stop with traditional motorsports—it evolved into the world of action sports and global entertainment.
The Godfrey family compound in the Salt Lake area became a training ground for progression in freestyle motocross, BMX, and mountain biking. This environment played a key role in the rise of Gregg Godfrey, co-founder of Nitro Circus, and helped launch the next generation of athletes who would go on to tour and perform worldwide.
This spirit of pushing limits and redefining what’s possible has always been a defining characteristic of the Godfrey name.

World Records & Defining Moments
The Godfrey legacy is marked by bold attempts, historic achievements, and a willingness to take risks others wouldn’t. Each of these moments reflects the same mindset that drives Godfrey Trucking—precision, courage, and a relentless pursuit of excellence.
