Bennett Family of Companies: 50 Years of Driving Trust Across Every Mile
As companies stretch across continents, threading their operations through borders, time zones, and a web of transport modes, the challenge isn’t just movement, it’s orchestration. Supply chains today resemble living ecosystems, where precision, timing, and adaptability dictate success. Getting a shipment from origin to destination is no longer a single transaction; it’s a carefully choreographed performance where even the slightest delay or misstep can ripple across the globe. Businesses don’t just need carriers—they need trusted conductors who understand the rhythm and nuance of global commerce.

That’s where the Bennett Family of Companies steps in, bringing five decades of grit, heart, and hands-on expertise to the world of logistics.

Built on Faith, Family, and Freedom

Over the past 50 years, the Bennett Family of Companies has emerged as one of the world's most respected logistics providers—guided unwaveringly by its foundational principles of faith, family, and freedom. In 1974, founders J.D. and Marcia Garrison purchased George Bennett Truck Lines for $150,000, acquiring 15 trucks, 30 trailers, and two modest contracts. With only $500 left to their names, they placed their trust in God and began a journey that would span generations.

That leap of faith became the start of a legacy. Today, Bennett remains a family-owned enterprise where multi-generational families continue to work side by side. The company’s dedication to treating people with respect, serving customers with heart, and investing deeply in communities has been a constant. As Bennett steps into its 51st year, the original values that once fueled their courage continue to guide every decision.

Bennett’s Blueprint for Modern Logistics

Balancing a rich heritage with the demands of a modern, global marketplace is a challenge Bennett has mastered through intentional strategy and steady reinvention. While holding firm to core values like integrity, service, and personal connection, the company has also embraced technology, strategic acquisitions, and dynamic partnerships to evolve with the logistics landscape.

Over the past five decades, Bennett has grown its capabilities through the acquisition of 14 subsidiary companies, each contributing to a comprehensive portfolio that spans nearly every facet of trucking and logistics. This model allows Bennett to stay ahead of industry trends without compromising the values that built its name.

Whether executing a logistics project in the U.S. or abroad, every detail is customized—from planning to execution—to meet the specific needs of the client.

This strong cultural fabric fosters loyalty, pride, and a deep sense of belonging, fueling excellence throughout the Bennett network every single day.

Building Leaders the Bennett Way

Bennett’s success is built on a firm belief: empowered people build enduring organizations. The company prioritizes workforce development through robust programs like Bennett University, which offers continuous learning, and the Marcia Taylor School of Leadership, designed to nurture future leaders from within.

Through mentorship programs, internal committees, and spiritual support groups, employees find both professional advancement and personal connection. Coupled with investments in cutting-edge technology and safety training, Bennett ensures its people are not only prepared for the industry’s evolving demands but also equipped for lifelong success.

Service Beyond Logistics

For Bennett, giving back isn’t a checkbox—it’s a calling. The company is deeply committed to civic and social responsibility, proudly supporting initiatives that reflect its values of faith, family, and freedom.

Among its most cherished partnerships is Wreaths Across America, honoring fallen soldiers during the holiday season. Bennett also champions local causes through organizations like A Friend’s House, Haven House, and Connecting Henry, as well as through school supply drives and Operation Christmas boxes.

One standout contribution is the Marcia Taylor Labor and Delivery Unit at Piedmont Henry Hospital—an enduring symbol of Bennett’s investment in community health. The company also supports Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, Emory Hospital, veteran advocacy groups, and the Museum of the Bible, underscoring that its mission goes far beyond logistics—it’s about impact, legacy, and heart.
