The Legacy of Horizon Transport: Celebrating 40 Years of Excellence in RV Transport
As we celebrate 40 years of excellence in the RV transport industry, Horizon Transport reflects on its journey from humble beginnings to becoming a leader in the field. Founded in 1984 by Melvin and Ruth Ann, the company was built on a vision of quality service, integrity, and a commitment to the needs of both drivers and customers. Today, under the leadership of their son Marion, Horizon Transport continues to uphold the values that have shaped its legacy.
From the start, Horizon Transport set out to provide reliable and efficient RV transportation services. With a focus on customer satisfaction and operational excellence, the company quickly earned a reputation for being a dependable partner for RV manufacturers and dealers. As the RV market grew, so did Horizon Transport, adapting to changes in the industry while maintaining its core principles.
One of the keys to Horizon’s success has been its dedication to its drivers. Recognizing that the backbone of the company lies in the skilled professionals who operate its trucks, Horizon Transport has consistently invested in training and development. From comprehensive orientation programs to ongoing education through safety videos and access to advanced driving simulators, the company ensures that its drivers are well-equipped to meet the challenges of the road.
Over the past four decades, Horizon Transport has expanded its services to include three distinct divisions: Flatbed, Drive-Away, and Tow-Away. Each division offers unique opportunities for drivers, allowing them to choose a path that aligns with their skills and lifestyle. The Flatbed Division provides high earning potential with diverse loads, while the Drive-Away Division offers flexibility for those looking to travel with minimal upfront investment. The Tow-Away Division empowers drivers to transport RVs using their own vehicles, creating a sense of independence and adventure.
As Horizon Transport celebrates this significant milestone, it is also committed to embracing the future. The company is continually exploring new technologies and innovations to enhance its operations and improve driver experience. This forward-thinking approach has helped Horizon maintain its competitive edge in a rapidly evolving industry.
Beyond its operational achievements, Horizon Transport is deeply committed to giving back to the community. Over the years, the company has participated in various charitable initiatives and local events, reinforcing its role as a responsible corporate citizen. This commitment to community involvement reflects the values instilled by its founders and continues to inspire employees at all levels.
The legacy of Horizon Transport is not only defined by its business achievements but also by the relationships it has built with drivers, customers, and partners. The company takes pride in fostering a family-like atmosphere where every team member feels valued and supported. As a result, many drivers have chosen to make Horizon Transport their long-term career home, contributing to the company’s growth and success.
As we look ahead to the next chapter in our journey, Horizon Transport remains dedicated to excellence in RV transport. We thank our drivers, customers, and partners for their unwavering support over the past 40 years. Together, we will continue to drive forward, embracing new challenges and opportunities while upholding the legacy of quality and service that defines Horizon Transport. Here’s to the next 40 years of success on the open road!
