Our Story

John & Teresa Douglas, Founders

Phil and Chrissi Douglas

BD transportation was founded in March 2000 by John and Teresa Douglas with a simple yet powerful belief—treat others with the same respect and integrity you’d expect in return. Rooted in Christian values, this philosophy has guided our business through 25 years of growth and success.

In summer 2024, ownership transitioned to the second generation, led by Phil Douglas, who continues to uphold our legacy of exceptional service and meaningful relationships.

What began with just five company-owned trucks has expanded into a thriving fleet of over 70 tractors, 300 trailers, and more than 100 employees, allowing us to provide highly specialized, time-sensitive freight solutions, including:

  • Milk Runs
  • Dedicated Carriage
  • Warehouse Shuttles
  • Lane-Based One-Way Moves

Despite our size, we offer capabilities that outperform larger competitors, including:

  • SmartWay Certification
  • Modern, reliable fleet
  • Drop trailer programs
  • 24/7 dispatch availability
  • ELD compliance since 2011
  • EDI capabilities for seamless logistics and data management

At BD transportation, we believe relationships drive success. Whether you’re seeking a trusted logistics partner or a long-term career opportunity, we invite you to connect with us. Reach out today and let’s move forward together!
