Not many trucking companies can lay claim to 60 years in business. But, if you’re Boyd Brothers, a Daseke company and based in Alabama, that landmark is just a springboard of what’s to come.
“It’s wonderful to look back and see what we’ve accomplished over the past 60 years,” says Boyd’s CEO, Gail Cooper, whose father, Dempsey, started the flatbed/specialized trucking company with his brothers in 1956.
“But the best is yet to come as we continue to expand our business offerings and grow our business.”
According to Cooper, Boyd’s recipe for success has been built on a culture of taking care of its people.
“We operate a family business and have treated our employees and drivers right,” she says. “We, at Boyd, have high integrity with a solid moral compass.”
Boyd’s growth has been especially strong in logistics and in offering full-service solutions.
“We’ve also grown significantly with owner operators and lease-purchase drivers,” Cooper says.
