Description: In 1963, Joseph Carretta Sr. founded Carretta Trucking Inc. in Paramus, New Jersey. Carretta started out hauling coal and ice up and down the East Coast, but expanded to running dry vans and refers from coast to coast. Three decades later, Carretta was fielding a fleet of over 1,000 trucks, but the '90s saw a lot of profit drain in asset-based trucking companies, so Carretta had wrapped things up and called it quits in 1997.

Description: Roadway Express, Inc. was founded in Akron, Ohio in December 1930. While Roadway began with an owner-operator model and primarily focused on truckload shipments, but by the mid '40s, it had shifted entirely to company-owned vehicles and mostly to less-than-truckload (LTL) shipping. Roadway became a publicly traded company in 1956, and in subsequent years, it expanded across the United States and by 1982 was operating over 500 terminals nationwide. By 2003, Roadway Express was the largest LTL carrier in the US, and held that title until 2009 when they were purchased by a logistics holding company that would merge Roadway into their operations, ending Roadway's nearly 80 year legacy.
Description: Con-way Freight was founded as a non-union spinoff by Consolidated Freightways (CF) in 1983 in Ann Arbor Charter Township, Michigan. CF’s business focus was long-haul transportation, with many of its routes averaging 1,300 miles. Research revealed that the most profitable segment of over-the-road transportation at the time was freight that traveled less than 500 miles, so a decision was made to pursue regional LTL operations. While deregulation through the 1980 Motor Carrier Act had left many carriers floundering and desperate for a buyout, CF elected to build Con-way from the ground up. The gamble paid off, and for the next three decades, Con-way Freight flourished, taking them through 2015 until they themselves were bought out.
Description: Mrs. Francis Edwards was a bookkeeper for a freight company in Birmingham who handled collections. After having to wait at the same trucking company each week, she told the owner that she should just buy the business so that it could be run properly. To her surprise, the owner called and asked if she was interested. Turns out, she was and in January 1946, she was president of her own trucking company. Starting with 10 trucks that came with the business, she positioned Eagle Motor Lines as a specialty carrier focused primarily on flatbed work. 20 years later, Eagle Motor Lines had 340 trucks and over 500 trailers, operating across nearly half of the USA with annual revenue approaching $20 million. Not bad for a bookkeeper, huh?
Description: 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.
Description: Bo "Bandit" Darville is the owner/operator of Bandit Trucking out of Atlanta Georgia. He's been known to operate outside of DOT regulations with cooked logbooks and unpermitted loads, so if say you need a load of Coors beer delivered east of the Mississippi River on the sly, the Bandit is just the guy to do it for you. Keep the shiny side up the rubber parts down. We gone.
Description: In 1936, Dick Cantlay and Joe Tanzola's trucking company purchased Western Truck Lines which allowed them to move into dry freight and then 20 years later, the purchase of Gillette Motor Freight had them changing names to Western Gillette Motor Freight and reaching all the way to Chicago and serving 1,400 cities in between. By the ’70s, the company had over 2,000 employees operating out of 52 company terminals in 15 States and a fleet of over 1,000 trucks. Cash flow problems started to rear their heads and in 1976 the company was sold to Roadway, marking the untimely end of Western Gillette Motor Freight.

Description: Based in Mount Airy, North Carolina, Jeffery Blackmon Trucking was a refrigerated carrier that primarily ran apples out of Washington State with their fleet of cab overs.

Description: Hennis Freight Lines was founded in 1933 by brothers S.A. and H.L. Hennis of Mt. Airy, North, Carolina. When the Hennis brothers sold their trucking company to Shirley Mitchell in 1946, Mitchell moved the company to Winston-Salem and began his quest to become the largest individual owned trucking company in the world... and he very well could have succeeded. Hennis grew rapidly through acquisition of other lines, but unfortunately, Mitchell’s theory on maintenance was a little short-sighted. He thought it was better to buy new equipment, rather than repair the old. This led to a lack of common parts, with little or no parts inventory, which left Hennis trucks stranded all over the system when they broke down.
Description: Silver Eagle Transport Inc. was founded in Portland, Oregon in 1930 with a focus on produce and tanker service. In the late '50s, the company got into LTL freight, which dramatically expanded their reach and took them through the '90s before closing up shop early in 2000.
Description: Reddaway Truck Line was founded in 1919 by William Arthur "Art" Reddaway in Oregon City, Oregon with a single Model T truck. He managed the company with his wife, Ethel, and later, his son, Walter, succeeded him and led the company until his retirement in 1970. Reddaway Truck Line ran the I-5 corridor hauling general commodity and LTL freight between Alaska and California with 20 terminals along the way. In 1989, the firm was brought out by an Australian conglomerate and at that time, the truck line had over 800 pieces of company owned equipment and were one of the largest carriers on the West Coast.
