Our History - Since 1959
R. E. Garrison Trucking, Inc. was established more than 60 years ago by Roy Garrison. Inspired by the same core values that drive us today, Roy started out with just one truck and focused exclusively on transporting poultry to the West Coast and bringing produce back to the Southeast. Since then, the company has experienced tremendous growth—today we have more than 800 drivers and 250-plus non-driving employees—but one thing has remained the same: our commitment to our employees, our customers, and our communities.
We only get better with age.
We believe you have to know where you've been to know where you are going.
