The Eagle Group is a diverse group of five privately held companies that has grown from a livery company founded in 1903 in Wenatchee, Washington.
Wenatchee is located on Washington state’s eastern plateau between the Cascade Mountains to the west and the Columbia River on the east. It is about 150 miles east of Seattle. Its population in 1903 was less than 500 people; today’s population is approximately 35,000.
The Eagle Group’s five companies provide products and services ranging from trucking/intermodal to information technologies to emergency medical transport.
