Mayflower Transit, LLC is an American moving company based in Fenton, Missouri. A subsidiary of UniGroup, Mayflower operates as an agent owned co-op to coordinate loads, packing, and third-party services. Agents are independent contractors, each focusing on a specific local area. While each maintains their own local and intrastate business, the co-op operates in the interstate and international service lines.[1]
History
[edit]Mayflower was founded in Indianapolis, Indiana, in 1927 by Conrad M. Gentry and Don F. Kenworthy. In March 1995, it was acquired by UniGroup, a transportation and relocation services company with headquarters in suburban St. Louis, Missouri.[1] Mayflower Transit is named after the famous 17th century sailing ship Mayflower.
Mayflower was involved in the highly controversial March 28, 1984, move of the Baltimore Colts NFL franchise from Baltimore to Indianapolis.
