The oldest rooted family-owned freight handler in the South dates back to 1927 when Hermann Services was launched by Fred Hermann after purchasing his first truck and hauling watermelons for the iconic A&P Supermarket in New Brunswick, New Jersey. In the early 80’s, William A. Hermann, a third generation leader of Hermann Services, successfully revitalized a warehousing and trucking conglomerate located in Houston, Texas during challenging economic times. In 1988, Hermann Services acquired this business to expand its operations regionally and renamed it Hermann Warehouse Southwest. Then in 2000, William A. Hermann divested the division from Hermann Services which leads us today to Pioneer Freight led by his son, William Hermann Burnash.
