What Bennett International Group does

Bennett International Group, LLC is a privately held, woman-owned transportation and logistics company founded in 1974 and headquartered in McDonough, Georgia. Operating as the Bennett Family of Companies, it runs 14 wholly-owned affiliated operating companies covering asset-based flatbed, step deck, heavy haul, specialized trucking, driveaway, manufactured housing transport, crane and rigging, warehousing, third-party logistics brokerage, and international freight forwarding. Its technology stack centers on a proprietary Transportation Management System (TMS) with driver/carrier portals, GPS/Omnitracs tracking, ELD compliance tools, and the BridgeHaul platform — acquired in 2022 — which provides load boards, freight factoring, fuel program access, and fleet management technology.

Bennett generates revenue primarily through transaction-based fees across asset-based trucking, brokerage, international freight forwarding (NVOCC, customs brokerage), warehousing (over 1 million square feet of commercial space), and crane/rigging services. Pricing is quote-based per shipment, with rate variation driven by cargo type, weight, dimensions, specialized requirements (HAZMAT, oversize, secure), and market conditions. Distribution is executed through direct enterprise sales, a 600+ freight agent network spanning motor carrier, broker, international, sales-only, and logistics agent programs, and a 4,625+ owner-operator/independent carrier network. The company holds DOE Tier 1, DOD-approved carrier, C-TPAT, SmartWay, and WBENC certifications, enabling it to serve regulated and security-sensitive verticals including aerospace, agriculture, cross-border/Mexico, data center construction, government/DOD, nuclear and advanced technologies, oil and gas, and wind energy. Marketing leans heavily on motorsports sponsorships (NASCAR Xfinity, Trans Am, NTPA/PPL semi-truck pulling) as a brand, customer-experience, and owner-operator recruitment channel.
