Custom Transport

Custom Transport The year was 1985 and together, with his father Bill Stevenson, they created Custom Commodities Transport.

Specializing in dry bulk, plastics, liquid food grade, and hazmat products, Custom is a carrier of choice for Fortune 500 petrochemical companies across the Southeastern U.S. After working many years in the family feed and fertilize business, current CEO and President David L Stevenson had a desire to get in the transportation business. The first truck purchased was a cab over Peterbilt that David

drove himself. He got his start by hauling feed from Oklahoma and later started hauling wood chips. From that point forward he continued to invest and grow the business. Today David has molded Custom Commodities Transport in to one of the leading dry bulk and liquid transportation carriers, who is dedicated to service and safety.

Professional Jason Harrison checking in from West Memphis, Arkansas with a clean truck and a shiny tank.
Jason said: “Nice and clean. Need to find that guy in Baytown and get him to polish the wheels and tanks.”
That’s a Professional Driver right there.
Because pride in your ride is not just about looking good — although this one definitely does.

It’s about showing up to a Customer location with clean equipment, a professional image, and the kind of attention to detail that represents the whole Team. It even attracts attention from other Drivers!
At Custom Transport, our Drivers move essential freight. But they also carry our reputation everywhere they go.
Nice work, Jason.
And yes… somebody find that Baytown polishing legend. 🚛✨

"Tight lil dock, but gettin it done safely on a chemical load with Custom Transport."
Professional Driver **Terry Kilgore** sent in pictures from a delivery that did not leave much room for error.



Tight space.
Limited angles.
Customer site pressure.
Specialized equipment.
One careful move at a time.



🚛 This is where experience shows up.

Not in noise.
Not in shortcuts.
Not in rushing.

It shows up in patience, precision, communication, and knowing exactly where that truck and trailer are at all times.



Deliveries like this remind people what Professional Drivers actually do.

They do not just “drive a truck.”

They solve real-world problems safely, calmly, and professionally.



Thank you, Terry, for handling the job with the precision our Customers count on.

This is honorable work done by capable professionals.

At Custom Transport, we believe Professional Drivers deserve professional equipment.
This International truck is more than a good-looking piece of machinery. It represents an investment in the People who do the work, the Customers who count on us, and the safety standard we expect every day.
In tank trucking, equipment matters. Clean equipment. Dependable equipment. Properly maintained equipment. Equipment that helps our Drivers do specialized work the right way.
But the truck is only part of the story.
The real value is the Professional behind the wheel — the Driver who knows the product, understands the customer’s site, follows the process, and takes pride in doing the job safely from start to finish.
That is why we invest in equipment.

Because we are really investing in our People.
People who serve.
People who protect.
People who take pride in the work.
That is the Custom standard: Service, Support, and Safety.

We received a sweet Father's Day message from Michelle Hill on Sunday and had to share:

From the Hill family.
"We want to take a moment and wish all the Fathers at Custom Transport a Happy Fathers Day! Especially to the one that is Our Father/PopPop! Prentis Hill! I would love to wish my husband the man that has been by my side for 36 years together and just over 32 years married. He is a wonderful provider and the hardest working man we know. He is on the road for Father’s Day but we wanted to let him know just how proud we are that he is the one we celebrate today and always!"

Thanks Michelle!

Proud moment for Custom Transport this month.
Our own Casey Driggers represented Custom and the tank truck industry at the Transportation Risk Conference in Dallas, Texas, contributing to conversations around best practices, safety leadership, risk management, and the use of new technology in transportation.
At Custom Transport, safety is not just a department. It is part of our professional identity.
It shows up in how we train, how we coach, how we use data, how we support our Professional Drivers, and how we protect our Customers, our communities, the motoring public, and our People.
We are proud of Casey for helping carry that standard into an important industry conversation.

(Thank you to Jerry Gillikin with HUB International for sharing the photo.)

Why do we consistently share videos, photos, and stories of our best Professional Drivers?

Simple.

Because this work deserves to be seen — and so do the People who do it well.



The public sees the truck.

We see the care it takes to protect the Customer, the equipment, the load, and the people sharing the road.

Professional pride is easy to recognize, no matter whose name is on the door.
Clean equipment. Careful movements. Safe decisions. Respect for the customer’s site. A Driver who understands that doing the job right matters from the first step to the final check.
That is what we respect across this industry.
At Custom Transport, we believe safety and pride go together. The best Drivers do not just move freight — they protect people, equipment, customers, and the roads we all share.
Professional driving is skilled work. And when it is done the safe and right way, it deserves to be recognized.

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

For many Professional Drivers, Father’s Day is more than cards, cookouts, and a day at home.

It can be pride.
It can be sacrifice.
It can be missing the hug, the phone call, the ballgame, the backyard, the kids, the grandkids — (and sometimes even the greats!)



But behind every mile is a reason.

For the dads behind the wheel, providing isn’t just something they do. It’s one of the ways they love. Their work keeps families thriving, Customers served, shelves stocked, and communities supplied.



Today, we honor the fathers who carry that responsibility with strength, professionalism, and heart.

To every dad behind the wheel: thank you for all you provide.

Happy Father’s Day from Custom Transport!

Professional Terry Kilgore was on site in Waterloo, Indiana, today unloading the very first load into a brand-new elevated tank at the asphalt plant.
The product is called Therminol 55, and the tank sits high because it gravity-feeds the system. That means the work has to be done with care, attention, and the right process from start to finish.
Terry summed it up best:

“Unloading oil into a brand-new tank in the air. Doing it the safe and right way.”
That is what professional driving looks like at Custom Transport.
It is more than moving freight from one place to another. It is skilled work. It is trust. It is knowing that somebody is counting on you to handle the load, protect the customer’s equipment, and get home safely when the job is done.
And behind every safe delivery is something even bigger: a family, a grandbaby, a wife, a home, and people who are counting on us to come back through the door.
We are proud of Terry for representing the Custom standard: service, support, and safety — done the right way.
And when Terry talks about doing it the safe and right way, this is why. Every load matters. Every customer matters. But nothing matters more than making it home to the people who love you...like his newest grandson Mason Beau Ryder Kilgore!

🚛 Consistency is what Customers remember.

At Custom Transport, our reputation is built one safe decision, one clear update, one accurate log, and one professional delivery at a time.



President David Lee Stevenson shared a simple reminder with our Team this week:

"Consistency is not about perfection." That's profound and true.

"It is about showing up with the same commitment, professionalism, and attention to detail whether the day is smooth or challenging."



That is where the Custom standard shows up.

Safe driving habits.
Clear communication.
On-time deliveries.
Respect for the Customer’s time, freight, and trust.



In this industry, a lot of companies promise reliability.

Mr. Stevenson went on, "Our Professional Drivers and support Teams deliver {reliability} every day.

That steady excellence is our competitive edge — and it starts with the People behind the wheel, in Dispatch, in Safety, in the shops, and across every Terminal.



To the Custom Team: thank you for your pride in the craft, your hard work, and your commitment to helping Customers choose Custom with confidence.

Roll Safe."
