Company History
Garner Transportation Group, Inc. is a family-owned and operated business started
in 1960 by Vernon E. Garner and Regina R. 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. Transportation, expediting, warehousing, logistics
management, third-party services, contract maintenance, and transportation consultant
all operate under the umbrella of Garner Transportation Group.
On March 20, 2007 Vern Garner succumbed to a lengthy battle with cancer. Vern fought
a valiant fight against one of the most aggressive forms of cancer- melanoma. It
is believed that the cancer metastasized from an area of his body to his brain or
it was a tumor that could have been there since birth. We may never know for sure
but we do know this, Vern a man of faith, has eternal life and looks down upon us
everyday! Vern’s legacy continues with these organizations:
OSU Melanoma Research Foundation, UF, Humane Society of Hancock Co.
The main terminal and maintenance facility, along with the corporate offices, are
located at 9291 County Road 313 in Findlay, Ohio.
