Gallery A short history Galt Transport was founded by Daniel T. Galt in 1947. Using four vehicles holding two A and two B licences, together with a horse and cart for local deliveries, Daniel’s small fleet provided a direct next day service from Glasgow’s quaysides to Dumbarton, Alexandria and Balloch. Twenty years later his son Allan joined the company after completing his apprenticeship at Albion Motors, Glasgow. Over the next 40 years, Allan grew the business to include four depots, 50 drivers, 10 office staff, in house workshop, driver training school and storage facilities. Servicing a diverse customer base the business grew to include a large fleet, including a wide variety of hiabs, specialist trailers and container handling equipment. Allan’s son, Andrew, joined the company in 2004. Starting behind the wheel, Andrew spent time driving for the company and gaining his HGV class 1 and crane certificates. After moving into the office and spending time on the busy traffic desk, Andrew now looks after company operations on a day to day basis. Growth at Galt Transport has always been founded on our willingness to diversify and provide innovative transport solutions for our customers.
