Our Story
Three Generations. One Commitment.
Founded in 1992 by Fernando Portillo, Portillo and Sons has grown from a single truck into one of the DFW area's most trusted transportation companies — built by family, driven by dedication.
Where It All Started
In 1992, Fernando Portillo founded Portillo and Sons in Dallas, Texas, after being laid off from his job as a cafeteria worker. With his savings, he purchased a 1987 Mack Tandem and began building his trucking business from the ground up.
In 1994, his oldest son Roger Portillo joined him, and together they continued growing the company. By 2000, the business had expanded to 15 trucks and trailers — a testament to Fernando's vision and the family's relentless work ethic.

The Portillo Family
Family has always been at the heart of Portillo and Sons. Over the years, each family member has played an important role in the company's growth.

Roger Portillo

Vickie Portillo

Continuing the Legacy
Although Fernando Portillo passed away in 2014, the values he built the company on — safety, reliability, and community — continue to guide the family and the business.
Today, Portillo and Sons operates more than 50 units and works with over 100 subcontractors throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Our services include sludge hauling, dirt hauling, aggregate hauling, petroleum services, fuel distribution, and state inspection services.
We are proud to be recognized by the State of Texas as a minority-owned and veteran-owned business. More than 30 years later, Fernando's vision continues through the next generation.
Built by family. Driven by dedication. Committed to the community.
