 Company History
In 2010, brothers Craig and Tommy West sold the West family of companies (excluding the trailer rental business) to Brown Trucking Co., creating a large regional diversified integrated logistics enterprise. With a larger footprint and significantly more equipment from its related companies to back it up, West’s Transportation Solutions is now well positioned to service the ever-expanding needs of its growing customer base. |
West Brothers Transfer was started in 1946 by Floyd and Mary West as a package delivery company servicing the Raleigh, NC area. In 1954 they started moving household goods locally and added pool car distribution for Kellogg and Elbow Macaroni. The company grew with the addition of contract delivery agreements with Avon Products, Stanley Home Products, Roadway Express and IBM. In 1974, Floyd and Mary sold the business to their sons and the business expanded into warehousing, brokerage, fleet leasing and contract maintenance. While the trucking business concentrated on dedicated truckload business, West’s Transportation Solutions handled the trucking customers’ longer and non-dedicated needs as well as adding many new customers.
