What Joseph J. Grieve, Inc. does

Joseph J. Grieve, Inc., operating as Grieve Trucking, is a family-owned construction hauling and trucking company headquartered at 5390 Tennyson Street in Denver, Colorado. Founded in 1974 by Joseph J. Grieve Sr. and incorporated in 1979, the company serves the construction industry in the Denver Metro Area and broader Colorado region, transporting dirt, gravel, aggregate materials, demolition debris, boulders, asphalt, and concrete. The operating model is project-based direct contracting with general contractors and construction companies, with revenue generated per haul through a mix of end dump, side dump, belly dump, tandem, flatbed, and demolition trailer services tailored to specific job site requirements, supported by day and night shift operations.

The core asset is a fleet of 30 company-owned semi-trucks and tractors with gross vehicle weight ratings between 33,000 and 66,000 pounds, all equipped with Geo Tab GPS-based fleet tracking for real-time location monitoring and dispatch coordination. Equipment is supplemented by an additional 20-plus independent owner-operators accessed through the Grieve Logistics partnership, providing asset-light capacity scaling for larger projects. The company maintains in-house maintenance programs ensuring all trucks meet or exceed federal and state safety requirements, and the Grieve family — Joseph Jr., Frank, and Danielle — runs operations, equipment, and office functions respectively.

Revenue is generated through transactional, quote-based pricing determined by material type, distance, volume, and equipment requirements, with no self-serve or digital channels. The customer base comprises construction companies and general contractors across Colorado, with a 40-plus year project portfolio spanning work on Denver International Airport, I-76 and I-25 highway expansions, the VA Hospital, and the Amazon Thornton fulfillment center. Distribution is entirely direct, with no intermediaries, marketing programs beyond a company website, and no investor capital or external ownership — a bootstrapped, multi-generational operating company.
