The company was founded by David William Fox in 1969 when he was 18. He was fortunate to be able to call on the advice of his father, Alexander Ballantyne Fox who had his own personal experience of the haulage industry, having worked for R Rankin & Son and Cleveland Tankers.
In the early days, David Fox worked alone, operating a van hire business and undertaking emergency express deliveries.
Close family involvement is one of the features of the company, and today David Fox Transport is a family run, medium sized road haulage company specialising in the transport of steel, newsprint and chemicals throughout the UK.
