Monroeville,Ala., [November 5th, 2020] –Hornady Transportation, LLC has announced its completed and successful operational merger with Builder’s Transportation Company, LLC (BTC), which went into effect October 1, 2020.

Their terminal in Birmingham supports the building materials and steel industries east of the Rockies with the merger resulting in a second terminal in Memphis, Tenn.
