Company History
Garner Transportation Group, Inc. is a family-owned and operated business started
in 1960 by Vernon Garner and Regina Garner under the name of Garner Trucking,
Inc. In the beginning, the company focused on transporting agricultural products.
Over the years the focus has changed to general commodities, and shipments are transported
regionally (east of the Mississippi River). In 1997, Garner Transportation Group,
Inc. was formed since the name Garner Trucking, Inc. was no longer representative
of all of the services offered.
The main terminal and maintenance facility, along with the corporate offices, are
located at 9291 County Road 313 in Findlay, Ohio.
JEAN GARNER is Chairman of the Board/CEO/Owner of Garner Trucking, a family business headquartered in Findlay, Ohio.
