About Sims Transport
At its core, Sims Transport is built around relationships, responsiveness, and doing the job right. The team supports customers operating in fast-moving, detail-sensitive environments by delivering dependable transportation and logistics solutions. With a strong emphasis on communication and accountability, Sims brings a practical, hands-on approach to every shipment, especially within food-grade and agricultural supply chains.
Sims Transport started as a family-owned business in North Georgia, grounded in a simple philosophy: take care of customers, follow through on commitments, and build relationships that last. Over time, that approach earned the trust of shippers and carriers alike, allowing the company to grow steadily while maintaining a personal, service-first mindset. For more than two decades, the Sims family has remained closely connected to daily operations, reinforcing a culture of accountability and responsiveness. In 2023, Sims Transport became part of Covenant Logistics, marking a new phase of growth. This move expanded capabilities beyond traditional brokerage into a more comprehensive logistics offering, including dedicated transportation, distribution support, expedited shipping, and managed transportation. While capabilities have grown, the company's commitment to service has remained unchanged.
