West Chester-Based A. Duie Pyle Nearing $1 Billion Revenue Mark 

February 26, 2025 | By Leah Mikulich

Family-owned A. Duie Pyle, based in West Chester, is approaching the $1 billion revenue mark, a century after it first began operations in Coatesville, writes Lisa Dukart for the Philadelphia Business Journal. 

The company, one of the longest-enduring trucking companies in the Northeast, has around 4,300 employees and 4.5 million square feet of warehousing space. A. Duie Pyle operates in 14 states. 

Alexander Duie Pyle founded the company with a single secondhand truck on April 1, 1924. A century later, it is run by his grandson, Peter Latta, its third-generation leader. 

Most of the company’s growth occurred under Latta’s leadership. He joined A. Duie Pyle in 1985 after working in other fields, including law. 

“I always knew I’d hang my occupational hat here on the hook someplace,” he said. 

The company was originally focused on steel hauling and then later on household moving, before it shifted focus to the less-than-truckload, or LTL, business in the 1950s. 

Today, LTL makes up around 70 percent of the company’s business. Its revenue is projected to hit $835 million this year, which is an 8 percent increase compared to last year.
