Builders Transport Corporation LLC out of Memphis Tn

Haven't heard much about them in years, but at one time, maybe 12+ years ago, they had a reputation as one of the cheapest places to work. They hauled anything on a flatbed as long as they could quote a low enough price to haul it. Things may have changed since then, but that was their rep in times past.

 

My $.02, you may not be able to work for them; last time I spoke to a recruiter, they said they were mainly hiring people from the south, because a lot of their freight comes from/ goes to there, and if you live as far north as I do (Detroit) they can't guarantee any sort of regular hometime, so they don't bother hiring.

 

Surely this isn't the same BT that was based in Lugoff, South Carolina back in the day. Remember the green and yellow BT trucks that used to ply the highways back in the 90s? Their rigs were mainly International COEs, but they also had a few Freightliner Classics sprinkled in their fleet. I know when I last drove in 2002, I'd see an occasional FL Classic in the old BT color scheme. I imagine there are a few still out there.

Anyway, considering I don't know for sure what became of BT--Lugoff, I'll guess this Builder's isn't the same outfit.

 

Two different companies Tip. The Builders transport that you are thinking of was bought out by Schneider National back around 2000 or maybe a little earlier. The company he is asking about runs white freightliners mainly with some leased on O/O and they pull only flats.

 

Talk to Davis Transport outta Missoula, MT .... they run flats .... I go for orientation there on the 15th .... they have a terminal in Iowa also .... talk to Jeanette in recruiting

They are working with me on training .... havent been in a class A in a few years .... been running Class B for the last 5 years .... but by all accounts from others they are a good company

Talk to Broncrider .... he is an O/O for them and has good things to say about them also
