Our
Story

60+ Years of Experience

The Beard family started in the trucking business back in 1965 when they began hauling fuel to pipeline construction sites throughout Michigan. This company was owned by Leo Beard and operated by his son Mark William Beard. The company grew from 1 transport to 20+ transport and straight trucks over the next 15 years. In 1980, the U.S. Government started to de-regulate the trucking industry and Mark Beard saw an opportunity to expand his business to haul-for-hire trucking.

Mark later left the family business and started a new company, M&L Transit, located in Dearborn Heights, MI. M&L became a very successful company providing fuel to thousands of gas stations in Michigan and surrounding states. Many fuel marketers relied on M&L for over 30 years, and in 1990, the company would expand by adding an additional terminal in Indianapolis, IN.

In 2008, Mr. and Mrs. Beard expanded again by starting Beard Transport LLC to conduct over the road trucking services. Then in 2021, the brokerage division was opened to help further service our growing customer demand for transport services and is based in Midland, MI. This company moves all types of freight through various modes of transportation, concentrating on open deck freight and over-dimensional/over-weight loads. By applying the experience and knowledge gained over the last 60+ years, Beard Transport can provide high-performance service to our customers who demand their freight be moved by the best.
