PUT DOWN THE MIC

International Transport, Inc. started out in Fargo, North Dakota in the early '50s, but relocated to Rochester, Minnesota after just a few years. Composed entirely of owner-operators, International Transport was the largest flatbed and heavy-haul trucking company in North America, and operated throughout the U.S. and Canada. International Transport put themselves up for sale in 1984, and were snapped up by a larger carrier. They continued to operate as International Transport until 1990, at which point they were rebranded with the purchasing company's name, and the International Transport name disappeared from the highways for good.

The Fraternal Association of Steel Haulers (FASH) was organized in 1967 by eight frustrated owner-operator steel haulers who were less than satisfied with their representation by the well established cartage union. FASH grew quickly, adding more steel haulers to their ranks day by day, and what started as a dual union situation resulted in secession by FASH after the established union alienated and ultimately pushed FASH out. Along the way there were weeks of strikes, violent assaults, shootings, bombings, and other unsavory actions taken by both sides, though according to news reports, the established union was clearly behind most of the heavy-handed attacks on FASH members.
