Owner/CEO
Family Owned & Operated Since 1974
In 1974, Marcia Taylor and her husband embarked on a journey by acquiring a modest trucking company known as George Bennett Motor Express. At the outset, the company had a small fleet of just 15 trucks. Over the subsequent four decades, a profound connection between Marcia, her children (David Lowry, Danny Lowry, and Lynette Mathis), and their dedicated drivers has blossomed, creating a sense of kinship that extends far beyond the workplace.
This enduring bond has led numerous drivers to remain loyal for over 30 years, a testament to the exceptional treatment they receive, akin to the respect reserved for cherished family members. While Bennett Motor Express has grown substantially, now boasting more than 1,000 drivers, the message remains clear: every individual within the company is valued and appreciated for their vital contribution.
More Than Just a Transportation Company
Through generous tithes from the Bennett Family of Companies, the Taylor Family Foundation provides funding for various causes that align with our core values and serve the communities we live in. Together, we support and promote family values, senior citizen care, and community initiatives. Each quarter, Bennett donates a percentage of its profits to the Taylor Family Foundation in order to fund grants geared towards these objectives.
The foundation distributes these funds to causes related to family values, senior citizen care, educational initiatives, healthcare services, and other worthy charitable endeavors. Through this long-term commitment, the Bennett Family of Companies and the Taylor Family Foundation are working together to make a real difference in the communities they serve.
