Incorporated in 1998, P. R. Parker Company, Inc began its construction history with a series of small projects in East Texas for TXDOT (Texas Department of Transportation)

The Company has established itself as an industry leader in asphalt surface treatment and fog seal application and has worked with major customers such as TXDOT, LADOTD (Louisiana Dept. of Transportation and Development), NDOR (Nebraska Department of Roads) and numerous other states, counties, parishes, cities and towns.

History and interesting facts

The Company's very first project was a small box culvert for TXDOT to replace an aging wooden bridge near the town of Corrigan in Polk County, Texas.  Since that time the Company has continued to pursue TXDOT work.  The Company’s first contract in excess of one million dollars was for TXDOT, and then later the Company's first contract over three million dollars was another TXDOT project.  The majority of the work that P. R. Parker Company has performed for TXDOT has been in Districts: 1 (Paris), 2 (Fort Worth), 10 (Tyler), 11 (Lufkin), 18 (Dallas) and 19 (Atlanta) all of which lie within a radius of approximately 200 miles of the Company's Shreveport Office. 

The Company's largest contract through its first three years of operation was for LADOTD, and then later the Company’s first contract in excess of two million dollars was also an LADOTD project..  The LADOTD projects that the Company had completed through 2007 were all located north of Interstate 10 within approximately 200 miles of the Shreveport Office.  Then in 2008, the Company ventured farther south, but still west of the Mississippi River. 
P. R. Parker Company rarely pursues work in private markets or as a subcontractor.  However, in certain cases where the Company does perform work for owners other than our usual state, city, county and federal customers, those customers have met certain financial requirements and have a favorable credit history, and the prime contracts are typically for bonded projects.
Some of the Company’s primary purchases include: liquid asphaltic cements and emulsions, crushed stone, concrete, pipe, pre-cast concrete structures, reinforcing steel, diesel fuel, and lubricating oils.

The Company uses equipment and vehicles (through purchase, rental, and lease): pickup trucks, dump trucks, trailers, loaders, rollers, power brooms, paving equipment, compactors, excavators, graders, bulldozers, other heavy equipment, surveying instruments, computers, software, and miscellaneous construction-related items.
