Mission Statement

Our mission is to provide quality and customer driven service at a competitive price and a fair profit. Customer driven service means satisfying the customer every time with every transaction we make. We aim to dominate the distribution market in the states we serve by providing a comprehensive package of integrated and creative logistics solutions that includes linehaul and truckload services, true regional coverage, Electronic Data Interchange, web-based customer access, and first-class warehousing and information services.

Our goal is accomplished through people. We believe that every person makes a difference. This commitment to people is a valuable part of our company culture. Taylor Distributing strives to treat its employees with respect, dignity, and fairness - principles that our company's founder John Rex Taylor practiced during his lifetime. For over 150 years these core values have guided the way we have conducted business.

Taylor Distributing recognizes that by encouraging employee involvement, valuing employee ideas, empowering employees in the decision making process and uniting employees behind common goals there exists both a force and resource that is unbeatable.

Teamwork is the cornerstone of our commitment to excellence. Working together Taylor Distributing employees show tremendous pride in their company. Our management style reflects efforts to keep pace in an increasingly competitive environment by encouraging more innovation, challenging methods of operation, and striving to create value in everything we do. Value comes from innovation, and the bar for innovation rises constantly. We are committed to an integrated, company-wide quality management. Our strategy is to identify and perfect the processes we use to perform tasks so that our total system is continually improving. This will afford more time planning and designing, rather than diagnosing and correcting. The greatest opportunity to secure a competitive advantage is through a diverse, highly motivated and well trained work force.
