Our company was founded in 1945 by Reuben Wallace McCollum. We started at a small location on Elm Street in Greensboro and moved to a larger facility 18 years later. We have been operating on Meadowview Road ever since.
The R.W. McCollum Company is one of the longest running and largest Heil petroleum trailer dealers in the United States. We are also one of the longest running Liquid Controls meter distributors in the country. For many years General Steel truck tanks were a mainstay of business for R.W. McCollum. After General Steel closed their doors, Tech Weld and Isometrics were marketed by R.W. McCollum. Then in 1992 Amthor International and R.W. McCollum joined forces to market Amthor tank trucks.
Today R.W. McCollum still markets Heil trailers, Liquid Controls meters and Amthor tank trucks. However, we have also expanded our equipment offerings to include J&L pneumatic (dry bulk) trailers, ST&E stainless steel trailers, and Countryside Tank LP trailers. In addition to expanded equipment offering, we have also broadened the area which we serve to include all of North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia.
Founded by Reuben Wallace McCollum and operated for 18 years at a small location on Elm Street in Greensboro until we moved to our current location.
R.W. McCollum Co was purchased by Clyde Sudderth, Richard Saunders, Ed Stanley, and Carl Robertson.
R.W. McCollum was acquired by a three-man investment team headed by David Cooke and Larry Tysinger.
David Cooke purchased the minority interest from the third investor, giving him majority control over R.W. McCollum Co.
Mr. Cooke’s sons Brian and Allen purchased the ownership interested from Mr. Tysinger, making R.W. McCollum Co a family business for the first time since 1963.
