Tom Johnson

Since its inception, Midstate Companies has consistently evolved and expanded to become the industry leader in cutting edge pavement recycling. Starting out with a single dump truck, owner Tom Johnson formed Midstate Trucking in 1984. Tom’s relentless work ethic and vision allowed him to expand the business into a fleet of various belly, end and dump trucks over the next few years. An insatiable desire for growth resulted in Tom branching out into bituminous reclamation and the formation of Midstate Reclamation in the fall of 1991 with the purchase of Minnesota’s first asphalt reclaimer. With Tom acting as the operator, mechanic and lowboy driver, the company’s presence was quickly felt industry wide. Tom’s passion and enthusiasm grew as he entered the market and the stage was set for bituminous milling services being added to Midstate’s business arsenal. Cold in-place recycling and soil stabilization services soon followed.
