Description: Founded in 1929 by John and Katherine Cooper in Holland, Michigan, Holland Motor Express operated a north-south line haul covering Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Kentucky, and Ohio. When Congress passed The Motor Carrier Act of 1935, requiring new trucking firms to obtain an operating certificate through the Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC), Holland's routes were locked in with little worry about competition. "The Big Dutch Fleet" bought up smaller companies and took on their operating authority to expand their reach over the years, and before too long, were the largest trucking company in Michigan, and at one point, were even the biggest in the Midwest.
