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
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 controversial 1984 move of the Baltimore Colts NFL franchise from Baltimore to Indianapolis.[2]
