Terral was founded in 1946 by John Terral as a small farm supply business in Lake Providence, Louisiana. Over time, it evolved into a network of larger businesses involved in bulk material handling and river transportation. In 1992, Terral RiverService was formed through the merger of these companies. Today, Terral operates storage facilities, dock operations, and boat fleets throughout the Lower Mississippi region to transport, handle, and store a wide range of commodities by rail, truck, or barge.
