Veteran Owned & Operated
Built on Service, Driven by Integrity
At Poplar Bluff Trailer, being veteran-owned isn't just a marketing badge on our yard—it is the direct standard for how we treat people, inspect machinery, and run our business every single day.
Meet the Owner: Greg
Without a family background in military service, Greg enlisted in the United States Army driven by a fundamental desire to discover what he was truly capable of. Believing in confronting challenges head-on and taking the fight forward, he volunteered for the infantry, serving from 2004 to 2008 as an 11B Airborne Infantryman with the historic 173rd Airborne Brigade stationed in Vicenza, Italy.
During his active duty service—which was extended beyond his contract due to deployment operational requirements—Greg logged 2 years and 8 months overseas in direct combat theaters across both Afghanistan and Iraq. Operating on the front lines, he engaged in multiple direct engagements and survived numerous IED events, earning an honorable discharge as a Corporal and service distinction as a disabled combat veteran.
