5. Bennett
Bennett was founded back in 1974. It was established by J.D. and Marcia Garrison when they bought a small contract carrier named George Bennett Motor Express. This one had two contracts, 15 trucks and 30 trailers.
Only few years later in 1977, George Bennett Motor Express grossed over $1 million in annual revenue.
So, in 1978, J.D. and Marcia purchased their first drop deck trailer. Furthermore, even before Marcia could make a payment on the equipment, J.D. had made an appointment with Mr. C.K. Crawford. This was at Ford in Romeo, MI to haul tractors.
Later, in 1980, Bennett stepped into a new decade. They did it with the purchase of a Texas Instruments Personal Computer. Back then, the salesman said that this would be the first and last computer that Bennett would ever buy.
