Description: Falcon Transport was founded in 1903 with a single horse and wagon in Youngstown, Ohio. The firm grew to become a major service provider for American steel mills, Detroit automakers, and hauling general commodities for some of America's largest companies.

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: Lufkin Foundry & Machine Company was founded in 1902 in Lufkin, Texas as a repair shop and parts supply house for regional sawmills. The company ventured into the petroleum industry and manufactured the first enclosed geared pumping unit, and a counterbalanced crank that improved the pumping unit and made a name for the company worldwide. In 1939, the company bought the Martin Wagon and Trailer Company, established the Lufkin Trailers to manufacture heavy-duty truck trailers. Leveraging their extensive design experience, Lufkin began building the lightest and toughest trailers in the industry, and could barely keep up with demand. In 1970, a new 400 acre trailer plant was built south of Lufkin, allowing production to meet demand.
Description: The Fraternal Association of Steel Haulers (FASH) was organized in 1967 by eight frustrated owner-operator steel haulers who were less than satisfied with their representation by the well established cartage union. FASH grew quickly, adding more steel haulers to their ranks day by day, and what started as a dual union situation resulted in secession by FASH after the established union alienated and ultimately pushed FASH out. Along the way there were weeks of strikes, violent assaults, shootings, bombings, and other unsavory actions taken by both sides, though according to news reports, the established union was clearly behind most of the heavy-handed attacks on FASH members.
Description: The Mason and Dixon Lines (Mason-Dixon) was an American trucking company founded by E. Ward King in 1932 in Kingsport, Tennessee. The firm specialized in hauling household goods and building materials, but acquisitions such as C. Murdock Lines and Robinson Transfer Motor Lines added tanker and flatbed service and expanded routes. With a fleet of red tractors and polished aluminum trailers, Mason-Dixon was known as 'The Silver Fleet', grew to be one of the largest privately owned carriers in the U.S. for a time. In 1984, the company experienced significant labor problems, including a strike over pay cuts and driver demands. Coupled with operating in a post-deregulation America, Mason-Dixon wasn't able to weather the storm.
