Where It All Began
Our journey with the trucking industry starts, with our father, Peadar Doran. Dad began his haulage business back in 1966, and from that time on, trucking became more than just a job for our family — it became part of who we are. Decades later, that
same passion still drives us. As we like to say, it’s in the blood.
- Our dad, our King of the Road!
A Tribute to the Road
Flying Duckmen was born from that heritage — a way to honor the industry that raised us, while finding a new route into it. The trucking world is tough, honest, and built on pride. We wanted to create something that reflected that spirit — something made for the drivers, the trucks, and the road itself. This brand is our compliment to the industry we love.
The Meaning Behind the Name
The name Flying Duckmen found its beginnings close to home — guided in part by a family nickname that helped set our direction. But as the idea grew, the name took on a life of its own. We discovered the deeper meaning behind flying ducks — a symbol of taking flight, embracing change, and daring to venture into the unknown. It came to represent what we believe in most: Fortune favors the bold. Our black and white branding carries that same spirit of times gone by, to the pirates, outlaws, and wanderers who once flew their flags high, unafraid of what lay ahead. For us, Flying Duckmen is more than a name — it’s a mark of courage, freedom, and timeless determination.
Legends Reborn
When we looked at the industry, we wanted to bring imagination and originality back to it — to create something never seen before. That’s how our truck mascots, The Viking and The Griffin, were born. Legends of myth reimagined for the modern road — crafted with precision, built to last, and made to lead the way. We’re proud to be the first to bring these icons to market, designed for those who command the highways and live for the journey.
Built from Memory
Our merchandise line was inspired by how we grew up — watching truck drivers at their best: clean-shaven, dressed sharp, smelling great, and ready to roll across the continent. That image stuck with us — the pride in presentation, the preparation before the miles ahead. We wanted to capture that same feeling and build quality gear not just for trucks, but for the drivers themselves. Because behind every great machine is someone who takes pride in what they do.
For All Who Live Boldly
Flying Duckmen isn’t just for truckers — it’s for anyone who values quality, endurance, and freedom. Good gear works for everyone, no matter where their road leads. We’re building a brand to last — one that will grow with the trucking industry and play its part in shaping the future of the road.
Join the Journey
This is our tribute to the highways, to the legends who drive them, and to the spirit that never stops moving.
