The History:

In 1934 William Elmer Constantine, Sr., founded Liberty Transfer Co, Inc. with one truck and a vision. That vision was to offer to the shipping industry a quality contract carrier, dedicated to customer satisfaction and on time service. In 1944, he was joined by his son, William Elmer Constantine Jr., and again in 1947, by his youngest son, Robert Melvin Constantine. In 1948, William Constantine, Jr. purchased Bond Transfer Co, Inc., and along with his father and brother, the two companies operated until 1980, when Liberty Transfer Co, Inc. ceased its operations. In spite of Liberty's absence, Bond still continued to grow; becoming one of the few survivors of deregulation.

Even after the deaths of William Elmer Constantine, Sr. in 1983, and Robert Melvin Constantine in 1994, ownership, and a time honored tradition of customer satisfaction, remain within the family. While still controlled and operated by William Elmer Constantine, Jr., his two children (Joyce Constantine-Pinder and William Constantine III), and two nephews (Douglas Constantine and Donald Constantine), have all stepped in, insuring that the family tradition lives on.

Now, three generations later, what was once only a vision, seen in 1934, has become a reality. Bond Transfer's fleet presently consists of approximately 90 tractors (most of which are permitted to pull up to 80,000 lbs.), and over 275 dry-van trailers (two thirds of them measure up to be 48' long, 102" wide, 13'6" high-maxi van type). We also employ approximately 100 well-experienced drivers; operating company owned equipment.

Bond Transfer has the ICC authority to operate as a contract carrier, over irregular routes, transporting general commodities between all points in the U.S. for any commercial shipper or receiver. Operationally, however, we serve the Northeast corridor from Virginia to Maine, the eastern half of Pennsylvania, and the southeastern part of New York State.

Prior to 1980 and the era of deregulation, we served only a small number of accounts. However, with the new "ease of entry" policies, and the increased competition we faced as a contract carrier, forced us to broaden our scope of operation and make our services available to more customers. We still offer our new accounts the same personalized services that we have been accustomed to providing for over sixty years as a contract carrier. Now, we can offer these services with the knowledge and experience that has made us the contract carrier that we are today!
