THANK YOU!

We would like to send out a big CONGRATULATIONS to Owner Operator Michael Cumbee for paying off his truck!  Great job Michael! You have worked hard to earn this accomplishment, and you deserve it!

Here’s a picture of Michael and his wife, Hope, with their new BBIE contract. Michael and Hope have another “congratulations” due in September … their first child!

Congratulations to you both!

The 72-hour Roadcheck commercial vehicle safety event is slated for June 3rd – 5th this year. During the Roadcheck program, approximately 14 trucks and buses are inspected every minute of the day somewhere in the U.S. and Canada.

Florida Highway Patrol Captain Derek Barrs says that a motor carrier is three times more likely than usual to see one of its trucks/drivers inspected in the U.S. and Canada during these three days, with states typically increasing manpower at their fixed pit locations and weigh stations for the program.

Last Saturday night at the Alabama Trucking Association’s Annual Convention, Boyd Bros. CEO Gail Cooper was awarded the H. Chester Webb Award for Distinguished Service. It is the Alabama Trucking Association’s highest honor for a member. We are proud to note that our founder and Gail’s father, Mr. Dempsey Boyd, also won the award in 1987.

We often say that our biggest strength is that we are a “people company.” And now you know a little more about our founder and the people who lead us today, defining the values we all aspire to as individuals and as a company.

We are so proud of you, Gail Cooper!
