Founded in the mid-sixties in Overland Park, Kansas, American Freight System grew from a Midwest regional short haul carrier to a national long haul powerhouse inside just two decades. By the mid-eighties, American was operating close to 200 terminals from coast to coast with a fleet of 1,600 tractors and 5,200 trailers, making them the fourth-largest trucking company in the United States at the time. Unfortunately, the company sold themselves to an investment group in 1988 that promptly stripped the company for a quick profit, leaving American Freight System as a footnote in the history books.

Headquartered in Grand Prairie, Texas, Arnold Transportation Services was a full service truckload carrier that billed themselves as 'the original regional carrier.' Arnold’s foundation in regional service was established in 1932, and would go on to provide irregular route truckload service, dedicated solutions and logistics support. With operations strategically concentrated in the South Central and Midwest states, the company consistently created capacity for its customers in and around major markets. After 92 years in business, Arnold Transportation Services had 341 truck drivers and 402 power units when they suddenly shut down in 2024.

In 1922, two friends formed a partnership to haul sand and gravel during the early Los Angeles boom. They started on credit, buying 15 dump trucks, but soon, the fleet grew to 26 units. In 1929, C&T added tankers to move petroleum. In 1936, they purchased Western which allowed them to move into dry freight, and then in 1956, purchasing Gillette Motor Freight had them changing names to Western Gillette Motor Freight and reaching 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. In 1976 the company was sold to Roadway, marking the end of Western Gillette, and C&T, as well as their signature 'sunshine service.'

Founded in Middletown, Connecticut in 1920, Bailey's Express got their start hauling loads of 40-quart milk canisters to New Haven. They eventually stopped delivering milk and would later diversify, building up a varied customer list with regional businesses of all sizes from a myriad of industries and providing them with a suite of comprehensive freight forwarding services. Bailey's picked up freight in Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island and brought it back to their Middletown terminal where goods were repackaged nightly into larger loads and shipped out to their final destination via over-the-road line haul trucking companies. The Middletown terminal operated 20 hours per day and handled 500 loads every night.

International Transport, Inc. started out in Fargo, North Dakota in the early '50s, but relocated to Rochester, Minnesota after just a few years. Composed entirely of owner-operators, International Transport was the largest flatbed and heavy-haul trucking company in North America, and operated throughout the U.S. and Canada. International Transport put themselves up for sale in 1984, and were snapped up by a larger carrier. They continued to operate as International Transport until 1990, at which point they were rebranded with the purchasing company's name, and the International Transport name disappeared from the highways for good.

Hussmann & Roper Freight Lines was founded in St. Louis, Missouri in 1927 as a general trucking interest. They were one of the first trucking companies to offer regular overnight service, eventually advertising themselves as 'the overnight, every night line.' Initially serving all of Missouri, and eventually all of the Midwest, by the time Hussmann & Roper was sold to a larger trucking company in 1963, they were operating multiple terminals and nationwide routes.

Founded in 1945 in Bourbonnais, Illinois, Rudolf Express served the Midwest with a commitment to provide timely service that exceeded that of their competition. Clearly, they made good on that commitment, as they were a top regional carrier throughout the Midwest for nearly 60 years before calling it quits in 2002.

Associated Transport was formed during World War II when seven trucking companies joined forces despite the objections of the DOJ, who believed the merger to be anti-competitive. The merger saw Associated operating 3,500 power units over 24,000 miles of unduplicated routes from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico, with 117 terminals, making them the largest trucking company in the world between 1943 and 1976. In 1976, Associated purchased Eastern Freightways in order to gain access to its equipment and routes, but also had taken on its debt. This turned out to be a bad decision, as Associated Transport couldn't manage Eastern's debt, sending the company into bankruptcy, ending a legacy of the world's largest trucking company.

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.

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.

My Time Behind The Wheels Is Over But Being A Trucker

Olson Transportation Co. was founded in Green Bay, Wisconsin in 1927. Unlike most carriers that tried to grow and expand to cover as much territory as possible, Olson was small by design. Until their closure in 1968, they operated an efficient overnight LTL freight network that connected all of Wisconsin and Upper Michigan with Chicago. Their yellow and brown trucks were a common sight throughout the region and known by locals as the most reliable way to get their goods to market in Chicago.

For the truckers in your life that keep you going.
