Barbados' Trusted Lifting
and Transport Partner Since 1957

Hinds Transport has grown from a single truck operation to Barbados’ leading transport and logistics provider through our commitment to reliability, safety, and exceptional service. Our story is one of continuous improvement, family values, and deep roots in the Barbadian community.

Our History

Hinds Transport began in 1957 when Harold Arthur Hinds purchased a 1947 Austin truck to haul sugar cane during harvest season. What started as a modest family business soon expanded to meet Barbados’ growing transportation needs.

Throughout our history, we’ve maintained the same values that guided Harold Hinds: honesty, hard work, and an unwavering commitment to customer satisfaction.
