Bill Davis Trucking, Inc. is the result of a lifetime passion for trucks. Bill Davis grew up fascinated with trucks. His grandfather’s small private fleet, which was responsible for the transportation of cattle, was his first inspiration. When Bill was five years old his father left the security of his own father’s business and moved his young family to Little Rock to begin a long career in retail truck and trailer sales. With the move, Bill was introduced to a new element of the industry, long-haul trucking, and as the saying goes “the hook was set.”
During Bill’s youth he was privileged to meet most of the truly legendary truckers in the very intense trucking state of Arkansas. He met individuals that left a legacy in our state, such as J.B. Hunt, Willis Shaw, Harold Ives, C.C. Jones, and Julian Martin. Shorty Jones and Julian Martin were the most influential in Bill’s life.
After school, Bill began a career as a truck salesman for Arkansas Peterbilt where his father was general manager. Even though Bill was a successful salesman, Bill’s dream of owning his own business never died. After a short career as a truck salesman Bill was ready to get in business.
Julian Martin, a very close friend of Bill’s father, offered Bill not only a job, but a place for his two trucks and most importantly a priceless education in how to run trucks efficiently and profitably. After two years in the office at JMI, Bill and his new business partner, Gail, launched BDTI with three trucks and a dream.
After 40 plus years, they have built an enviable track record of success with hard work, determination, and attention to detail. Most people would agree the dream has come full circle,.

On the day of the move you need to be present. There is paperwork to sign and you need to
show the movers exactly what is being moved. After the movers have loaded the truck you will
be ask to do a walk through. That is the time to point out anything that may have been missed
once the truck drives away they are done.
At the unload they will place boxes in rooms based on the rooms written on the boxes
(ie., bedroom, kitchen, garage). Furniture will be placed in the location you specify.
It is helpful if you already have a basic idea where you want furniture placed.
If the movers have to keep rearranging and switching furniture around it will take longer
and you are paying hourly.
You want to make sure animals are in their cat/dog carrier prior to the movers arriving.
Animals are curious and can get underfoot. If your dog isn’t good around strangers please
have them tied up or in their carrier. The moving company cannot transport any live animal
no dogs, cats, fish or reptiles are allowed in the truck.
