Ellsworth and his half brother James H. Gardner were involved in the trucking business in their early years. Ellsworth brought the first truck to come to the Eastern Shore. It was a Menomanie and came into the town of Tasley by rail. The truck was a chain drive with solid tires. It came without any body so it was taken to a carriage maker who built a cab, seat, and body on it.
