Founded in 1999, Buddy Moore Trucking was built on the experience of E.H. “Buddy” Moore Jr., whose 60 plus years in the trucking industry, including 10 years as an over-the-road driver, helped shape a company rooted in the driver perspective.

Through steady growth and strategic expansion, Buddy Moore Trucking has established a strong presence across the Southeast, operating seven terminals. In 2024, the company joined PS Logistics, one of the largest privately held transportation and logistics companies in the United States. Today, the company continues to deliver reliable, high-quality service while maintaining a driver first culture and staying committed to the drivers and employees who make that possible.
