New Model 567s Mark the Return of Peterbilt Model 567s to the A&R Logistics Fleet
For years, a painted gold ribbon formed the A&R Logistics logo on the sleeper walls of the firm’s Peterbilts, dating back to the original founding of the company in 1970.

Certainly, there are larger fleets around than that of G&D Hauling, the materials hauler-dump operation headquartered in Fuquay Varina, North Carolina.
Plenty of carriers claim a mission statement that defines their aspiration to be the best at what they do. Few, however, can back it up to the degree that Heniff Transportation can.
