O'Toole Transport
Location: Galway
O Toole Transport is a family owned business based in Galway and established in 1996. The company is one of the leading logistics and transport companies in Ireland, specialising in National and International distribution with depots in Galway, Dublin, Limerick, Waterford and Longford.
Our present status as Ireland’s premier road haulage company can be traced back to the 1940’s when John Patrick O’Toole purchased a Commer lorry in a bid to establish a local agricultural delivery business. Based in Moycullen, this early foray into small scale Connemara logistics proved massively successful and the company expanded into general haulage serving the area until John Pake’s untimely death in 1963 at the young age of 56.
John Pake’s son Larry also had a lifelong dream of setting up his own road haulage company, which he subsequently passed on to his son Laurence. In 1996, the O’Toole family, Larry, his son Laurence and daughter Mary had a vision for the business potential of a family run transport company. With only a handful of prospective customers and 3 fully committed family members, O’Toole Transport set out on a path that would lead not only to full family employment but to a total full-time staff of 70 employees.
