O’Neale’s Transport, Inc. was founded in 1969 by Keith C. O’Neale, Sr. who was at the time employed as a shipping manager for Florida Van Lines. Florida Van lines was a shipping company that brought loose cargo to Christiansted, St. Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands. There were no warehousing facilities available at this dock, so the cargo from Florida Van Lines had to be covered by tarpaulins and left on the dock. This resulted in a tremendous amount of pilferage. Additionally, most consignees wanted their cargo delivered as soon as possible. However, the only trucking company on St. Croix at that time was not able to provide prompt delivery of such large volume of cargo, therefore the cargo frequently remained on the dock for long periods of time.

In August 1969, Keith C. O’Neale, Sr. decided to provide a solution that would meet the needs of the shipper and the consignees. He purchased a truck to deliver cargo arriving in St. Croix on Florida Van Lines vessels. The new truck arrived on Saturday, October 29, 1969 and although it could not be licensed until Monday, it made its first delivery that day.

Six months later Mr. O’Neale, Sr. purchased another truck and by October 1970, the fleet consisted of three large Flat Bed trucks and one pick up truck. The Company was well on its way.

One of the primary reasons for the success of O’Neale’s Transport is the loyalty and dedication of its employees. Mr. O’Neale’s gratitude was boundless to those employees who toiled together with him in making this Company a bigger and better place to work.

Since then the Company has been getting stronger and stronger and has been at its present location at the Container Port since 1983. The company remains in family hands, run today by Mr. O’Neale’s son, Keith C. O’Neale, Jr.
