Custom Transport

Call Directions Website

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.

Some days, the road gives you a story to send home.

Custom Professional Driver Ron Holte sent this greeting from Medicine Hat, Alberta: “Coyote says hi.”

We asked if he’d named his new acquaintance. “Naw,” he said. During his 34-hour reset, he’d also spent an evening feeding and watching prairie dogs before the sun went down. Who knew they like sweet potatoe?!?!?

There’s a little romance in the life of a North American long haul tank hauler. Wide-open country. Towns you might otherwise never know. A quiet evening on the prairie, with time to notice who else calls it home.

The work takes skill, patience, and pride. The miles mean time away from People you love. And somewhere along the way, a moment like this becomes part of what you carry home.

Thanks for sharing a little of your road with us, Ron.

Drivers, what sight has stayed with you long after the miles rolled by?

President Trump visited Peterbilt’s Denton, Texas, plant this week, bringing national attention to American truck manufacturing.

For Custom Transport, it’s an opportunity to recognize the skilled People who build our industry’s equipment and the Professional Drivers who put it to work every day.

Behind every safe, reliable delivery is a Driver, a Team providing Support, and a Customer counting on us to do the job right.

We’re proud to be part of that work.

People who Serve.

**THE DRIVER WE HAVEN’T MET**

Some of the best Professional Drivers aren’t searching job boards.

They’re already working. They’re experienced, safety-minded, and respected by the people who know them.

That’s why we’re challenging every Custom Professional Driver:

Think of **one Driver** you would trust beside you on this TEAM.

Tell them honestly about Custom—our standards, our support, and the people behind the name. Then invite them to have a conversation with us.

A job advertisement can get someone’s attention.

A recommendation from a respected Professional Driver can open a door. And remember, there's $3,000 in it for you!

Please welcome 3 of our newest Professional Drivers: **Draycuss Taylor, Ronnie Davis, and Natasha Glyenn!** All recent grads of Redwine University.

Custom is growing because customers are asking for more of the service our Professional Drivers deliver dayin and day out. That means we need more experienced Professionals who take pride in doing the job right.

We’re glad to have these three on the team, and 2027 is definitely looking up!

**Know a great Driver who belongs at Custom? Send them our way. We love Driver referrals.**

Some drivers want the RESPECT trucking had 30 years ago… while walking into customers looking like they're headed to BED.

Nobody expects a three-piece suit.

You're driving a TRUCK.

But there's still something to be said for looking like you showed up to WORK.

Professional jeans.

Professional shirt.

Presentable appearance.

Instead, sometimes you see sweatpants, sandals and somebody looking like getting dressed wasn't part of the pre-trip.

Comfortable is one thing.

Looking like you don't care is another.

Maybe I'm old-school...

But if we want trucking treated like a PROFESSION...

Shouldn't we still represent it like one?

Every day brings something different for Custom Professional Driver Damon Watson.

When Damon joined Custom, pneumatic tankers were new to him. He learned from the ground up, with teammates willing to share what they knew. His advice? Don’t be afraid to ask for help.

Watch Damon share why the changing routes and new challenges keep him behind the wheel.
