Company History
 
In 1932, at age 16, J. C. Cannon started hauling livestock from Breckinridge County in Kentucky to the stockyards in Louisville.  This was the beginning of what would be a lifetime of love and dedication to trucking.  It also proved to be the foundation of what is now Ryan Trucking Company, Inc., a for hire transportation company located in Caneyville, KY  42721. Through the 1930's, 1940's and 1950's, J. C. Cannon drove every kind of truck available and hauled all manner of products ranging from road construction, such as Interstate 75, to hauling automobiles from California to New York. In 1962, now married and with a son, J. C. went into business and formed J C Cannon Trucking, a for hire bulk carrier with local area operation. Upon his retirement in late 1980 J.C.'s son Barry joined the company after four years in the banking business to manage and operate the trucking company. On January 2, 1981, the company began operations under Ryan Trucking Company, Inc., named after Barrys' oldest son.
