In 1921, Harry Zabarsky and his brother, Mickey, started St. Johnsbury Trucking (SJT) with a single truck, and within a few years, had a growing fleet. Based in St. Johnsbury, Vermont, SJT grew to serve the northeastern U.S., and much of eastern Canada. The company grew and expanded heavily through acquisitions of trucking companies, operating terminals throughout Delaware, New England, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and Vermont. The mid '80s saw fortunes turn for SJT in a post deregulation trucking industry, and by the end of the decade, it was clear the company was in trouble. After more than seven decades of business, St. Johnsbury Trucking officially closed its doors on June 14, 1993, leaving 4,400 hardworking people out of work.

Founded in 1968, Wichita Southeast Kansas Transit (WSKT) was a privately held trucking company that started as a certificated Kansas Intrastate Carrier, serving Wichita and Southeast Kansas with overnight freight service. WSKT grew their network to 46 terminals in a closed loop line haul configuration across fifteen states. WSKT offered LTL Interstate and Intrastate, Pool Distribution, and Time Definite Delivery services and continued their reputation of guaranteed overnight service up until the end when they were sold in 2005.

Truckers need to make runs to get paid, so they go from moon to moon on runs. They get in their house on wheels and boogie on down the road.

Lee Way Motor Freight was founded by Robert “Whitt” Lee in 1934 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Lee Way grew quickly, adding drivers and equipment, all while developing a reputation for safety and reliability. By 1947, the company had 225 pieces of equipment and added routes in Kansas and Missouri. That year, the company acquired another trucking company that expanded its fleet and operating authority, an expansion strategy Lee Way would follow for decades into the future. By 1975, Lee's sons decided to sell the company and by the time deregulation hit, Lee Way was in a downward spiral. Lee Way had expanded to 5,000 employees and 100 terminals in 25 states by 1984,but Lee Way's then owner, Commercial Lovelace, elected to shutter the line.

Founded in 1930 with original authority between Denver, Colorado, and Chicago, Illinois, the aptly named Denver Chicago Trucking (DC) would grow to become the first coast-to-coast carrier in the nation. Real growth started in 1939 with the purchase of Denver-Los Angeles Trucking, which added routes to Los Angeles, San Diego, and Arizona. From their original 1931 A-5 International, the DC road fleet would grow to over 3,000 units wearing their once familiar DC green and yellow colors. By 1966 DC became one of the top 8 trucking companies in the U.S., with over 3,500 employees. In 1973 DC, along with LASME of Seattle, became part of the TIME System of Lubbock, TX.

Di Salvo Trucking Company got their start in the 1940s when Russ Di Salvo bought himself a used farm truck and began offering cartage services in and around San Francisco. Within ten years, Di Salvo added more trucks, hired drivers, and extended well beyond the Bay Area. By the 1960s, Di Salvo Trucking had a sizable fleet and was moving freight throughout California, and their red cab over semi trucks were a common sight up and down the I-5 corridor. Fast-forward to 2002, and Di Salvo Trucking Co. had finally reached the end of the road, where the line was shuttered and facilities and equipment sold off to other LTL haulers looking to expand into California.

Earl 'Bud' Batteate was born November 20, 1918, and grew up on his father's Oakdale, California cattle ranch. He got the rodeo bug when he was just 7 years old and rode his first calf. Ten years later, Batteate was a young rodeo champ, got married, had a son, and decided to take up cattle hauling to support his new family. His dad transported cattle, but mostly for their own stock, so Batteate knew the business and undoubtedly had his dad's help in getting him going. Starting out with a single truck as Batteate Livestock Transportation Co., he grew his business to more than 30 trucks by the mid '40s, continuing to drive himself, while also riding rodeo nights and weekends for over 60 years.
