Doggett began in 1993 when childhood friends Leslie Doggett and Brady Carruth acquired Toyota Lift of Houston from Gulf States Toyota. The business started with 18 employees, including nine technicians, and focused on growing forklift sales and service in the Houston area. Over time, the company expanded through acquisitions and now operates across Texas, Louisiana and New Mexico, with 55 dealerships distributing John Deere construction equipment, Link-Belt cranes, Toyota forklifts and Freightliner trucks and trailers. It says it has approximately 2,000 employees, including 700 factory trained service engineers.
