| The roots of John R. Reed, Inc. began to form in 1975
when John R. Reed began his trucking heritage with Reed
Trucking Company by purchasing equipment and hiring drivers
to service the transportation needs of the agricultural and
construction markets. By the late 1970’s they were providing
long haul services for more specialized products with dump
and flatbed trailers. By 1983 Reed Trucking Company was
incorporated as R. S. Reed and Sons, Inc. In 1989 the
company began providing dry van services as well as flatbed
for general commodities. In the 1990’s the fleet was
increased significantly and better customer service
opportunities and employment opportunities with benefits
were being provided. When John R. Reed, Inc. was formed in
2001, another fleet expansion took place.
John R. Reed, Inc. currently has temperature-controlled
capabilities to go along with their existing dry van and
flatbed capabilities. John R. Reed, Inc. now operates a
large fleet, diverse in equipment selection and services,
and manages a broad range of nationwide customers. However,
John R. Reed, Inc. still maintains the customer-driven
values that characterized its operation from the beginning.
John R. Reed, Inc. is now owned by Reed Family Holdings,
Inc., D.B.A. Reed Logistics. The holding company is
wholly-owned by John R. Reed and Patsy Reed.
