Who We Are

Cedar Beetle’s roots begin in 1936, when Fred W Bader, Sr., bought his first dozer. He continued to grow his business over the next four decades. In 1974 Fred Bader, Jr. assumed management of the thriving business and passed it on to his son, Fred W Bader III (Trey) in 2003. Today we continue to grow both in services and scope, with the largest fleet of specialty rail vegetation management vehicles in the Southen United States.

Cedar Beetle owner Trey Bader, is a proud Texas A&M University Alumnus and third-generation contractor. Cedar Beetle Inc is a family-owned and operated company offering the fastest Federal Railroad Administration Defect response time available in the industry. All of our operators and project supervisors are eRailSafe Certified and carry railcards at all times. Providing outstanding service and maintaining an exceptional reputation is our goal.
