Carl Subler Trucking, Inc. 1954 Mug

Carl J. Subler of Versailles, Ohio purchased his first truck in 1933 at the age of 18 and began hauling grain to Southeast Ohio and back hauling coal to Darke County. Carl would soon begin adding more trucks and hiring drivers to run them, and before he knew it, he was running a trucking company. Carl Subler Trucking wasn't formally incorporated until 1954, but would grow into the 10th largest truckload carrier in the U.S.A., operating in all lower 48 states with over 600 trucks. Carl Subler Trucking, Inc. ran well into the '80s until they were purchased by A-P-A Transport Corp. in 1986. A-P-A slowly rebranded the Subler fleet, and they themselves closed down in 2002.
