Interstate Pins and Buttons
Description: Interstate Motor Freight was founded in Detroit, Michigan, in 1929, only to be purchased by Star Transfer Line in 1932. The two firms combined became Interstate Motor Freight System and relocated to Grand Rapids. Interstate grew steadily with a focus on providing route service throughout the Midwest and Northeast. By the time 1980 rolled around and brought deregulation to the industry, Interstate was the 10th largest trucking company with 3,500 employees systemwide, but like their competitors, were rocked by the newly deregulated industry. By 1983, the company was losing $20M a year, and the following year saw them go into bankruptcy, followed by total liquidation after a 52-year run.
Description: If you've driven Interstate 29 through Missouri some time in the past 45 years, you probably recall an unmistakable landmark at the Faucett exit - a tractor trailer floating high above the ground. This semi turned sign marks the location of the Farris Truck Stop. First opened in 1976, the traditional mom-and-pop truck stop was a favorite with locals and truckers alike and was a fixture in the small town of just over 800 people.
Description: Breaks Interstate Park is a breathtaking Appalachian destination known as the “Grand Canyon of the South,” featuring a deep gorge carved by the Russell Fork River. Spanning Virginia and Kentucky, it offers scenic overlooks, hiking trails, and unforgettable mountain views year-round.
