Last evening we celebrated the retirement of Bill T. Ward! But in true Bill T. Ward fashion, we did it with a low-key poolside BBQ at the Ward Family Farm! 42 years of service, with the last several as the President/CEO. Congrats Bill! Well deserved!

About us
Ward Transport & Logistics Corp. is a family-owned and operated asset-based LTL, brokerage, and warehousing provider. Founded in 1931 by William W. Ward as a “one-truck, two man” operation, Ward was the first to offer Central Pennsylvania farmers access to the New York City market, where produce was in great demand. Ward hauled produce through the streets of Manhattan in exchange for cases of oil to take back to his rural suppliers. William Ward’s relentless commitment to his customers was the impetus of the type of Obsessive Customer Service that our customer’s experience today. Today we work alongside a team of over 1,300 of the finest and most hard working professionals in the industry. Our network of 22 service centers gives us the opportunity to provide reliable next day service to over 15,000 loyal customers, and our strong partnerships with other like-minded carriers allows us to extend our supply chain offering to other regions of the US without having to sacrifice on quality. When you Ship the Ward Way you’ll find that the “Ward Way” of doing things goes well beyond shipping. It’s a mindset that goes back to our three founding principles: Respect, Integrity, and Gratitude. RESPECT. We have the utmost respect for the freight that our customer’s entrust us with. We know that real success doesn’t happen overnight, which is why we respect the role that our customers, employees, and vendors play. For us, there is no better feeling than mutual success. INTEGRITY. We do what we say we’re going to do and have a “never settle” type of approach to achieving our goals and exceeding our high service standards. GRATITUDE: We are thankful for the opportunity to service our customers in such a dynamic industry. We appreciate the personal sacrifices that are made every day and the relentless commitment to doing things the “Ward Way.” Ship the Ward Way today at 1-800-458-3625 or learn more about us at www.wardtlc.com!
