A Father to Son Family Tradition

As a division of W.B. Howland Co. since 1926, Howland Truss is a family-owned operation and has been in the truss business since 1994, starting with a dozen or so employees in Live Oak, FL. Today we operate two truss plants and a full-line building supply encompassing over 62 acres. Like many, we started in the residential market and grew into a well-respected truss provider. Today Howland Truss can design, build, and supply even the largest multifamily jobs with roof and floor trusses. Howland’s also owns and operates a full-line fuel truckstop and retail store to keep our trucks rolling regardless of fuel-supply issues.

From the Mayflower to Live Oak

The Howland family has been in the building materials business far longer than the trusses — the story runs from a London hardware trade and the Mayflower in 1620 to Live Oak, Florida today.
