History

Established in 1983.

Samson Trailways began as a vision to provide safe, and affordable transportation for community groups for the city of Atlanta and the surrounding area. Bill Sambdman, the founder of Samson Trailways, often rode buses and motor coaches when traveling with his local church group and thought the experiences could be much improved. When Bill retired from government service, he used his personal savings to fund a transportation business. Starting with one coach and a passion for serving others, he grew his business with hard work and attention to detail. Today, Samson Trailways has 14 motor coaches, 6 mini buses and 32 school buses.
