LeBeouf is one of the oldest marine towing companies operating on the inland waterway systems, having been formed in the early 1940's by brothers, Willard and Irvin LeBeouf. In approximately 1946, Earl Gonsoulin joined the Company and became an equal partner with the LeBeouf's. In 1957, LeBeouf was incorporated under the laws of the State of Louisiana, and from that date forward the towing company grew from a two vessel operation to its current level. In 1968, Richard A. Gonsoulin and Jerry T. Gonsoulin purchased the stock of the LeBeouf's resulting in the Company being solely owned by the Gonsoulin family.

Today, the company is owned and operated by Richard A. Gonsoulin and Jon M. Gonsoulin. Presently, the company operates twenty-three (23) towboats and forty-three (43) barges. The company is capable of transporting crude oil, clean, and heavy oil products.

LeBeouf’s areas of operation are from Brownsville, Texas to St. Marks, Florida on the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway; and as far north as St. Paul, Minnesota on the Mississippi River system. Other areas of operation include: the Illinois, Ohio, Arkansas,, as well as the Tennessee river, Cumberland, and the TennTom waterway system.
