Our History

Floyd and Beasley Transfer Company was organized in 1944 when Cecil Floyd and Jule Beasley formed a partnership and acquired a small trucking firm headquartered in Sycamore, Alabama. The infant company had a fleet of four vehicles, with a gross revenue for the first year of $33,000.

Since that time, the company has been a continuous success story. They purchased property, built a terminal, and moved from their small rented quarters in 1950. In 1953, the firm was incorporated with the original partners retaining ownership. Mr. Floyd served as President until his death in late 1966. The company continued as a closely held corporation under the leadership of Mr. Beasley until 1999. There were numerous expansions of the home terminal in Sycamore; the present ultra modern facility was occupied in 1973. In January of 1999, the Beasley shareholders sold their shares to the Floyd family. The Floyd family presently owns 100% of Floyd & Beasley Transfer Company, Inc.

Floyd and Beasley Transfer Company is an interstate common carrier and for many years operated primarily in the Southeast. The first operations of Floyd & Beasley Transfer Company were limited to the textile industry with a very limited scope of operations, but with determination, routes were extended to cover a large portion of the 48 states, handling a variety of products from textiles, food products, paper and many other commodities.

From that very small beginning that was only a dream; Floyd & Beasley has grown from one office to several terminals, serving regional and inter-regional states and has contracts with many large Fortune 500 corporations. In addition to the home office located in Sycamore, AL, Floyd & Beasley owns terminal facilities at Atlanta, GA and Greenville, SC with trailer pools and drop yards throughout the southeast. Floyd & Beasley operates in excess of 200 tractors and 600 trailers, (some with special equipment). All equipment is modern and their maintenance facility at Sycamore, AL is one of the best in the industry. Jobs are provided for more than 250.

Floyd & Beasley offers many other services, such as large storage facilities, storage trailer rental, limited broker service and very large trailer pool operations.

The safety program at Floyd & Beasley has always received top priority and top management remains active in the safety programs. Safety personnel are active leaders in state and national safety programs.

Floyd & Beasley has never lacked for that leadership that brings success. That leadership, in an effort to continue that success in the year 2001, installed a Qualcomm tracking system. Service and Floyd & Beasley have come to be synonymous, and the tracking system continues that outstanding service.

As great as our history is, you have not seen anything yet. For those who have vision and dreams, there is still opportunity, and the driving force of the leadership of Floyd & Beasley has been and continues to be that conquest belongs to the conqueror.
