Since 1922 - Our Brand Story

With a loan and a used Ford Model T Truck, our grandfather, John J. Williams started Williams Transfer and Storage Company in March of 1922. The business has remained in the family ever since.

During the 1920's the company was small and its reputation for personalized services was established by the founder John J. Williams. A handshake was a contract! During the 1930's, the company grew, and was awarded transportation and storage contracts from Firestone Tire and Rubber Company, and other national firms which had operations in Los Angeles. The company continued to grow, even during the Great Depression. During World War II, John J. Williams' brother, and the company General Manager, Nat Williams, enlisted in the U.S. Army. In the war years, the company was very active in the transportation and storage of general merchandise throughout Southern California. In 1944 Herb Williams enlisted in the U.S. Army, and served until 1946, at which time he joined the ever growing Williams Transfer and Storage Company.

During the 1950's the company name was changed to Williams Transportation Company, and added additional services such as truck leasing, and fully outsourced transportation services, which it called Truck "N Driver Leasing. It was a terrific success as scores of companies sold their truck fleets to Williams and then leased a new fleet from Williams, complete with a leased driver staff! This concept of "outsourcing" to a professionally managed specialist was pioneered by Williams in the 1950's and 1960's.

In the late 1960's and early 1970's Herb and David Williams acquired Quality Transportation, Co-Operative Delivery Services, Wynn's Tire and Rubber Company, created Transcontinental Leasing Company, Rapid Traffic Service, LTL Shippers Association, American Piggyback Services, and purchased the 8 acre - 400,000 square feet Safeway Stores facility on Alameda Street. Williams created several specialized freight and storage operations during this time, and operated one of the largest private fleets in California.

In the late 1970's and early 1980's, economic recession and deregulation caused the Williams family to re-imagine its future, and from that re-imagining was born Williams Records Management, and the transformation of the freight distribution and warehouse business to the document storage center business.

Re-named in 2010 to Williams Data Management, with its addition of cloud services and online digital storage in mind, the company remains committed to the same business foundation John J. Williams established over 88 years ago:
