About Leggott Trailers

In the early 1900's Arthur Leggott rode horseback from Dawson to Waco with the money he had made trading livestock. He purchased many parcels of land around the area that would be known later for it's traffic circle. Among those purchases was one piece which he acquired in December of 1924. That thirteen acres was near the family home and was where the Leggott Livestock Auction's first barn would be built. Now eighty years later Leggott Trailers sits on the I-35 corridor on four of those acres.

After returning from Tokio Bay in the mid 40's, Arthur "Red" Leggott Jr. was working at his fathers auction barn and needed to buy a set of stock racks to transport cattle in the back of his truck. He called Bill Hale in Sherman Tx. and learned that if he bought three sets he could be a dealer. Soon Mr. Hale was building trailers in his garage and Leggott Trailers was booming. Arthur Sr., told his ambitious son that he would soon sell everyone a trailer and put himself out of business. Red persisted and continued to sell trailers well into the 80's Tom Leggott started to work for his dad in 1984. With Tom's youth and enthusiasm and Red's patience and knowledge the little trailer company thrived. They expanded the shop to more than double the size and sold more and more parts to go with the trailers.

Now Leggott Trailers nears it's 60th anniversary of the first trailers sold on the old family land near the circle. Providing sales, service and rentals with good old fashioned honesty and reliability is what has kept Leggott Trailers going for all these years. Zoey Leggott now works part time while attending high school and Shane drives the Leggott Racing Go Kart #77 and will no doubt be welding and packing bearings soon. The whole Leggott family takes pride in continuing this family business. We would like to have the opportunity to help you with any or your towing related needs.
