Are you visiting the Great American Trucking Show in Dallas this week? If so, please come by and visit us in booth # 17162. We’d love to see you. And if you won’t be at the show, please call us at 800-543-8923. We’d like to tell you more about Boyd Bros. and how much we love our drivers.

Most people can’t imagine driving anything with the kind of power that professional drivers have at their disposal. But even truckers are amazed when they see this diesel engine. Said to be the world's largest, it has 109,000-horsepower generated by 14 cylinders that each consume 6.5 ounces of diesel fuel every cycle!

Our trucks don’t have 109,000 horsepower, but they do get better MPG! And good equipment is just one of the reasons the best drivers choose Boyd Bros. Call us today at 800-543-8923.

We’re proud to have the best bunch of drivers on the road, including over 160 million-mile safe drivers. Here are a few of the drivers we’ve recognized in recent months. Thanks again to every one of you. We appreciate all you do!

Well NBA fans, the “Dwightmare” is finally over with the announcement that Dwight Howard will play for the LA Lakers (pending League approval). Some say this makes the Lakers a favorite to win the title next year. Others say Howard is spoiled and will hurt team chemistry.

If you’re a sports fan, tell us what you think: will Howard put the Lakers back on top or continue to be a distraction as he was in Orlando?

And if you’re not driving for Boyd Bros., learn more about the best team in flatbed by calling us at 800-543-8923. Have a safe and happy Friday!
