A subsidiary of UniGroup, Mayflower operates as an agent owned co-op to coordinate loads, packing, and third-party services.

Mayflower was founded in Indianapolis, Indiana, in 1927 by Conrad M. Gentry and Don F. Kenworthy. In March 1995, it was acquired by UniGroup, a transportation and relocation services company with headquarters in suburban St. Louis, Missouri. Mayflower Transit is named after the famous 17th century sailing ship Mayflower.
Mayflower was involved in the controversial 1984 move of the Baltimore Colts NFL franchise from Baltimore to Indianapolis.
