LEXINGTON, SC, UNITED STATES, October 21, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- L.A. Barrier & Son, a 90-year-old hauling company based in Lexington, South Carolina, has unveiled a refreshed logo that honors its rich family history while maintaining its recognizable identity. The new design, which features the actual handwriting of a previous owner, creates a meaningful connection to the company’s legacy.
The company’s journey began in 1935 when Luther Alexander “L.A.” Barrier started hauling stone and topsoil with a Studebaker dump truck in Salisbury, North Carolina. His reputation for hard work and dependability helped the business grow from one truck into a larger hauling operation. In 1968, L.A. Barrier & Son relocated to Lexington, South Carolina, and is now in its third generation of family ownership.
Today, L.A. Barrier & Son continues to provide industrial, residential, and commercial hauling services while operating on the same values of honesty, integrity, dependability, and strong relationships. The company remains family owned and operated, with Leigh Provost, the fourth generation of the Barrier family, playing an active role in leading the company into its next chapter.
