Any info on Besl Transfer co

See them a lot, mostly flats hauling steel. That's all I know.

 

One of the oldest companies still operating. They have had a pretty good reputation for a long time. MC# is 051... Not too many of these MC# still operating

 

I have a friend who has been leased to them for over 26 years. He loves them. You don't survive that long in trucking without being a pretty good company.

 

They haul lots of steel, I have hauled lots of loads for their brokerage side. Always good rates, and really good people to work with.

 

I have 3 friends leased to them and they will swear up and down by them. one left for a couple years but went back. All 3 of them are averaging 2 a mile plus fuel

 

It is an all Owner Operated flatbed company that basically takes 27%. You must have a $1000 escrow built up or paid up front like I did but BEWARE, you will not see your escrow refund for 45 days after you cancel your lease and if your not often home as I stay out 3-4 weeks at a time well your check will be literally in the mailbox. Amazing they can direct deposit your settlement but not escrow money !

 

Old thread.

Looks like they have been bought out by CRST as of Dec 31 2013 http://www.crst.com/2014/01/crst-international-inc-acquires-besl-transfer-co/.
