The largest terminal Bowman had in 1988 was located at 4271 Bowman Industrial Court in the Atlanta, Georgia suburb of Conley. Sitting on 58 acres of land, the terminal had 228 doors and 129,960 square feet of warehouse space. Old Dominion Freight Lines is in that terminal now.

The second largest Bowman terminal was at 11000 Reames Road in Charlotte, North Carolina. It had 106 dock doors on 36 acres and warehouse space of 52,900 square feet. Now used by Yellow Freight and was formerly a Roadway Express terminal.

The Bowman 94 door Birmingham, Alabama terminal has been long redeveloped at 1900 Vanderbilt Road

The Dallas, Texas facility of 64 doors on 11.5 acres still resembles a truck terminal although it is used for another purpose now.

At 62 doors the Chicago, Illinois terminal was 24,720 square feet of space on 6.5 acres at 5400 West 47th Street.

The Miami facility was the smaller of the two in terms of size with 9,600 square feet of warehouse space and was situated on a 5 acre lot at 3275 NW 41st Street. In New Orleans the building had almost six thousand more square footage and the property was an acre larger. The terminal was located at 12301 Old Gentilly Road. Chattanooga was the same size as New Orleans but on an 8 acre site at 2040 Polymer Drive East.

The Bowman terminal was on the west side of Highway 66, in a building originally used by ET & WNC Transportation. On the other side of the street were much larger terminals for Pilot Freight Carriers, Roadway Express and ABF Freight System.
