Description: Founded in 1931 with just two old trucks, Blue Ridge Transfer's reach grew far beyond their hometown of in Galax, Virginia to become one of the largest over the road trucking companies in America. Blue Ridge originally focused exclusively on hauling furniture from manufacturers in North Carolina, but after deregulation, they expanded across the 48 contiguous states, hauling furniture outbound and appliances and other goods on the return trip. By the mid '80s, Blue Ridge had over 700 employees, 300 tractors, and more than twice as many trailers. the privately owned company was sold in 1997, and within a few years, was rebranded by the new owners and merged into their existing operations.
