In 1958, BR Williams began with one man, one truck and one dream. That man was Bill Williams. After losing his life in an on-site fire, Bill’s wife, Ruth Williams, fearlessly took charge and ran the business during a tumultuous time for women in leadership.
Many years later, Ruth handed the baton to her son-in-law, Greg Brown, who saw the company through the worst economic downturn of the time. Since then, Greg has taken the company to heights Bill and Ruth could have only dreamed.
This year, BR Williams celebrates the dream of that one man, the two courageous leaders who extended his legacy and the countless members of the BR Williams family who have served alongside them all these years. This year is particularly special for the BR Williams family as they reach 60 years of business.
Built on three simple promises: Honesty, Integrity and Service (HIS), BR Williams Trucking has become a leader in the transportation industry.
Over the last 60 years the fleet has grown to 165 satellite-equipped tractors and 625 air-ride van trailers, servicing the 48 contiguous states and Canada. Headquartered in Alabama, BR Williams is a freight company, logistics, 3PL carrier, and long-distance over the road (OTR) trucking company.
In addition to trucking, BR Williams offers supply chain management, warehousing, and distribution fulfillment services. Currently touting six facilities that are strategically located across the Southeast, BR Williams takes pride in their organized and advanced facilities.
