Hello!!

Thank you for checking out our website.  I founded Eclipse Transervices Corporation in 1992 near Virginia, Nebraska.  In August of 1997, we moved our operation to Beatrice, Nebraska.  We offer a variety of services to shippers, traders, receivers, and trucking companies.  Among them are transportation brokering, transportation and management consultation, factoring, computer and Internet services, compliance auditing, equipment leasing, hopper trailer rentals, and other related services.  Eclipse is a member of the Nebraska Trucking Association and I have served on its Board of Directors for several years.   

Being a licensed and bonded freight broker, we provide service throughout the United States and Canada. Our time-tested relationships with our shippers and authorized carriers allow us to provide transportation solutions for nearly every need.  We specialize in dry bulk and organic transportation, but we also have experience and contacts in most areas of truck transportation.   

My background in truck transportation began in 1974.  I have owned and managed fleets with hoppers, pneumatics, tanks, vans, reefers, and flatbeds in a number of managerial positions for both global and regional carriers in a number of geographical areas.  This experience and knowledge is utilized to recommend options for any movement, large or small, to provide the service and administration needed to surpass the requirements.  I have a very talented staff and support team. 

Earl Miner has also been in the transportation industry for over 30 years in a variety of managerial positions throughout the country.  Earl began at Eclipse in 1992 and soon worked his way to be the Executive Vice President of the company.  He also administers our computer network and web sites and can make recommendations for hardware, software, and related services to our customers.  He has led Eclipse’s progressive moves to protect the integrity of organic commodities, and providing reports to our customers.   

Marci York joined our company in 1998 and Sheri Zulauf in 2004 and they are very proficient truck transportation brokers.  They coordinate loads with our 700+ authorized carriers nearly every day and advise our customers of any delays or problems that arise.  

Matt Leonard in Sophia, North Carolina, Melissa Fuller and Debbie Barrineau in Ochlocknee, GA, Nelson Hostetler & Mark Hostetler in Plain City, OH and Jennifer and Derreck Furse in Gothenburg, Nebraska operate offices as brokers and also offer dedicated dispatch to owner-operators and small fleets pulling hoppers and end dumps.  Hopper trailers are available for rent or lease at our Beatrice, Nebraska location.

Carrie Stewart and James Saathoff provide customer service as it relates to our billing and payable departments, invoicing via email & regular mail, digital imaging, processing quick pay options to our trucks, monitoring the compliance of our customers and carriers, and qualifying new customers and carriers to our organization.  

Our web site, www.eclipsetrans.com, contains information useful to dry bulk and organic traders and truckers in addition to our LoadManager load and truck web posting system shows loads and trucks we have available.  Our dispatchers are connected to the Internet with a T-1 line, which gives them the ability to communicate quickly with customers and truckers alike via websites or email when a telephone call isn’t necessary.  Eclipse also provides digital imaging services and maintains digital images of all shipping and receiving documents for several years. We also offer billing via email to eliminate mail time, lost & damaged mail, and paper handling with files you can review, print if you need it, or store in your server immediately as a PDF file.   We will continue to utilize the cutting edge of technology to ensure our ability to provide the best service we can.

Sincerely,

 Ron J. Mencl
