In 1963, a chance conversation between a railroad official and Glenn Hulcher at a coffee shop planted the idea that would change the railroad contractor industry. At that time railroad companies provided their own people and equipment to service derailments. During this conversation, Glenn suggested that Hulcher could clear derailments more quickly and efficiently using the equipment in his father's pipe-laying company.
Two months later he got the chance to prove his claim when a derailment occurred nearby. On this day, the railroad had a difficult time getting their equipment to the derailment. The railroad official called Glenn and as they say - the rest is history. Hulcher Services' crew arrived and quickly cleared the derailment before the railroad crews could even arrive at the scene.
In the years since, Hulcher Services continued to innovate pioneering such ideas as winch-mounted sidebooms and track loaders for railroad services, padded sideboom tracks, thumbs on excavator buckets and hi-rail, rear-control ledge vacuum trucks.
In 1988, we expanded our business with the launch of Hulcher Resources offering environmental and industrial services to our customers in industries such as environmental consultants, railroad, agriculture, oil & gas and more.
Headquartered in Denton, Texas, Hulcher Resources has Divisions strategically located across the United States allowing us to deploy our equipment and personnel wherever you need us.
