Smith Transport Company Review

The founder and owner of Smith Transport, Mr. Barry F. Smith, at age 16, began his own business by contracting the hauling of milk and cream from dairies in the region. At age eighteen, he began his long-haul career in trucking as an Independent Contractor.

While operating his own unit, Mr. Smith also managed a fleet of five trucks for his father. Barry also began to learn the planning, organizing, directing, and controlling a fleet of trucks. With this experience in hand, Mr. Smith set out on a new entrepreneurial endeavor by purchasing and refurbishing long-haul tractors. This was the beginning of the transportation element of the business.

The company has grown from operating five tractors to nearly 1000 units. Warehousing space now approaches 2,000,000 square feet.
