(Clayton, Ala.) - Boyd Bros. Transportation was recently named one of the Best Companies Group's 2012 Best Companies to Work for in Alabama. Business Alabama Magazine and Best Companies Group created this elite awards program to recognize Alabama's best employers.

"Our company is a great reflection of the people that comprise it," said Jeff Hopkins, vice president of human resources for Boyd Bros. "This is a great achievement that really makes us proud."

Employees from each participating company took part in a 72-question survey as a part of the competition. Boyd Bros. is one of 18 companies to make up the 2012 Best Companies to Work for in Alabama list. Each company's ranking will be revealed at an awards ceremony coordinated by Business Alabama the first week in August. A special publication profiling the selected companies will be published in the August 2012 issue of Business Alabama.

"We work hard to be a top employer, not only in the state of Alabama, but also in our area of operations and our industry," said Hopkins. "We're looking forward to more specifics on how we rank so we can look for way to get even better."

The company is known throughout the trucking industry for its positive work environment and dedication to its employees. Boyd Bros. was also recently named one of the Truckload Carriers Association's 2012 Best Fleets to Drive For. This is the third year in a row that Boyd Bros. has been a finalist for the award and the second time the company has earned the title.
