COVID-19 drove significant changes in the auto transport industry. At the onset of the pandemic, Montway's ownership and the executive team assured all Montway employees that their jobs would be secure and ruled out pay reductions throughout the pandemic. In addition, to ensure employee safety, Montway implemented an emergency action plan by moving the entire company to be fully remote by March 2020. Montway's leadership and commitment to employee safety, executive action, and implementation became the standard in how other transport companies responded to the crisis.
Montway employs over 300 employees and saw over $128M in annual revenue and 58% growth in 2021, successfully shipping nearly 200,00 vehicles in that year. In 2021, Montway Auto Transport ranked No. 3,732 on the 2021 Inc. 5000 list, the most prestigious ranking of the nation's fastest-growing private companies.
