Over 80 years ago, in 1919, a Baltimore business man, Richard "Dick" William Bozel, pawned
a player piano, took the proceeds, and bought his first truck. This
was the beginning of a long and successful run in the trucking industry. R.W.
Bozel Transfer, Inc. was the first refrigerated trucking company in the
state of Maryland, hauling packing house products, truckload and LTL between
the Baltimore-Washington, DC metro area, serving A&P's and mom and
pop groceries.
By the mid 1930's Richard Bozel had 10 trucks and A second generation soon followed their dad into business. Richard
Bozel's three sons, Richard, Joseph and Maurice, joined Bozel Transfer
in the 1940's. In 1971, the company founder, Dick Bozel, passed away and his son Richard retired to Florida. The business was turned over to Joseph and Maurice. With the evolution of frozen foods and meats, with shipping transferring from rail to truck, Bozel Transfer moved from Camden yards to the surrounding county of Baltimore to Hollins Ferry Road. Through this move, Bozel was better able to meet the needs of its customers and grow the business. Joseph died in 1971, leaving Maurice "Moe" Bozel to lead the company forward. Deregulation in the 1980's supplied the impetus for Moe Bozel to greatly expand the company's areas of service. Bozel Transfer expanded their delivery and pick-ups into the north and south, adding customers while improving transportation logistics. To continue Bozel's growth into the 1980's, Moe Bozel augmented R.W. Bozel Transfer, Inc. with the formation of Bozel Enterprises, Inc., a broker and freight forwarder. Bozel Enterprises provides truck-load services all over the country with vans, flatbeds and reefers. In 1986, a third generation of Bozels joined Today, after more than 8 decades in the industry, the company remains family owned and operated. Bozel Transfer maintains a personal "hands on" approach to their business and customer's needs. Bozel Transfer looks forward to servicing our customers into the new millennium. |
