BOSS Crane & Rigging

What BOSS Crane & Rigging does

BOSS Crane & Rigging (legal entity Bennett On-Site Services, LLC) is a US-based provider of crane rental, rigging, heavy haul transportation, and oil rig moving services, headquartered in Longview, Texas and operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Bennett Family of Companies, a woman-owned, WBENC-certified transportation and logistics conglomerate based in McDonough, Georgia. The company was founded in 2015 and has grown from an initial handful of cranes to a fleet spanning 8-ton to 1,000-ton capacity, including mobile, hydraulic, crawler cranes, gantry jacks and lifts from premium OEMs such as Liebherr, Manitowoc-Grove, Terex, Broderson and Tadano; eight new all-terrain cranes (50–900 tons) were added in early 2025 and the average fleet age is reported at under two years.

The company serves five primary verticals — construction, oil & gas, mining, petrochemical and wind energy — across Texas, the Gulf Coast, the Southeast US and the Midwest, with operational yards in Longview, Houston, Midland, Dayton, Beeville and Kenedy (TX), Lake City (GA) and Orlando (FL). BOSS monetizes through project-based, quote-driven contracts for crane rental, rigging, heavy haul, oil rig moving and, more recently, wind turbine installation and maintenance (led by a dedicated Wind Division launched in 2019 in partnership with Vestas). New growth vectors include the BOSS Projects division (2025) focused on energy, advanced technology, space industries and small modular reactor deployment, and a 15-acre Foreign-Trade Zone at the Dayton, TX facility activated in early 2026 that integrates storage, staging and customs processing with Bennett's logistics network.

BOSS is privately held under Bennett Family of Companies, has no public financials, and is run by an executive team led by Owner Marcia G. Taylor, CEO David Lowry, and President Richard Miller (appointed August 2022 following founder David D. Cowley's passing). BOSS Heavy Haul, LLC operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary, complemented by recent geographic expansion (Lake City, Dayton, Orlando, Midland), the CSI Heavy Haul asset acquisition (March 2024), and a sustained record of SC&RA safety recognitions and ISO 9001 quality certification.
