Description: Joseph J. Milne started Milne Truck Line in 1916, running a single Garford 1.5 ton truck with hard rubber tires. He began hauling food and other things between St. George, Anderson Ranch, Cedar City, Lund, and the rail head at Modena. As business grew, Milne added newer trucks with pneumatic rubber tires and started hauling as far away as Salt Lake City, eventually transitioning from hauling fresh produced to transporting petroleum products and dry freight. Through a series of acquisitions and expansions over several decades, Milne became one of the West's largest motor carriers, serving 11 Western states, including Alaska and Hawaii. Milne itself was sold in 1979, but operated under the Milne name until the company's dissolution in 1987.

Every image in this collection is created with care and the intention of making its details as complete and historically accurate as possible.
