Hi, I just found your channel. Like it, I’m retired truck driver , working from ’76 to 2019. There was a company that did LTL & truck loads. That I worked with. Preston 151 line, Preston Fast Freight. Also a small LTL company that is gone was in Virginia is Wilson trucking. Another small LTL company that is gone is Falwell Fast Freight. Thats good for now. Keep up the good work.👍

Neat video.. enjoyed it.. weaker trks, stronger men..

In your description, you state that the new trucking industry had to be controlled. That’s because most senators had investments in the railroad industry. You stopped at 1935 and I did not give information on the most consequential statement of that. The 1935 motor carrier in conjunction with the fair labor. Standards act stated that truck drivers were exempt from overtime. This law has never been changed or revoked. Therefore the only way to make any type of decent wage you had to put in as many miles under your belt as you could and the best way to do that was go faster. Then in 1980 the government further stuck a knife into truck is Bex when they deregulated. Now they’re talking about setting speed limiter’s to a speed, they deem safe for the taking food out of drivers mouths . It is now a minimum wage job. How much lower can we go?

The government is one of the main problems with the trucking industry today it has done nothing but making it harder to make a living in this industry. The over regulation of the industry has made it a job that people don't want to do

Try to find the History of Johnston Terminals in Canada It'll be a Tough one as Information is Limited & very Vague

I drove at Yellow Freight in Burnsville MN and worked with drivers that had drove at Briggs. Yellow had taken over some of the Briggs terminals, Duluth MN, LaCrosse Wi, Lincoln Ne, Eau Claire Wi and so on. The linehaul manager at Yellow in Burnville Mn had worked at Briggs as the linehaul manager in Kansas City MO. I also worked for the local agent for Murphy Motor Freight Lines in Litchfield MN in high school and for a year after I graduated. Hyman Freight was also popular in the 70s and 80s until the 90s. One of our competitors while at Murphy was Quast Transfer from Winsted MN, My father drove for the first farmer owned cooperative shipping association called Litchfield Livestock Shipping Association, established in 1908. The farmers would bring their animals to Litchfield and they were loaded on the train for shipment to South Saint Paul MN. Finally they got a truck and when the railroad service was not reliable, in 1938 they made the first truck load directly to South Saint Paul MN. The cooperative lasted until 1978 when it was auctioned off and Mike Thomas bought the business. Mike and Gene's father was Deb Thomas and he had a fleet contracted to Lindsay Bros transporting farm supplies to dealers across the upper midwest. I have more information if you need it.

I really enjoy hearing the history of these companies, especially the LTL's that were so prevent when I was a kid (and avid truck model builder). My friends and I always liked building those big, fancy owner-operator trucks but, I also liked to build models of the beat-up, dirty haulers that I saw around the stores and shops that did the work-horse hauling around town. Being an upstate New Yorker, I remember well, the CF's of the 70's running up and down the NYS Thruway as well as passing the Interstate, Overnite and other's yards locally, with the tractors all neatly lined up the yard ready to go the next day on their runs.

My mom worked as a secretary at Tose Fowler trucking in 1983. Leonard Tose the former owner of the Philadelphia Eagles started that company. It would be neat to cover Tose Fowler trucking.

Anyone who drove trucks like those back in the day sure worked hard for every single penny they got paid.

My uncle Gus worked at Pilot Freight Lines. He was a Diesel mechanic for 25 Years He was a great man 1:47

Hi, I just now found your site and I subscribed. I wondered if you might do the history of Crouch Brothers Trucking with Headquarters in St Joseph, Missouri.

How about Bruce Johnson anss Dixie

White Motors, Ford, GMC, and Dodge heavy duty all gone!

Most of them grew in the textile industry, and when it went south (overseas) so did their business. And most of these trucks didn't have air conditioning or air ride suspensions, and had manual transmissions - today's drivers would have never survived!

I had a neighbor named Ed Olson that drove for Briggs for many years. He picked up at a candy factory in Winona MN and brought candy bars for us kids from them.

History of JTL Jones Truck Lines Springdale Arkansas Founded by Harvey Jones he was always a loyal Customer of International trucks Company colors of Black & Orange because he started out with two Mules a black mule & Sorel mule ( kinda burnt orange color company closed doors in 1991 because of a Ninety Day turn around specialist P Eliott Burnside it is my understanding after he finished at JTL went to Florida and did same dabacle with another Truck line

Some of the best trucks companies

My grandfather drove from McLean then moved up to a dispatcher any supervisor he worked out of Richmond and Kingsport Tennessee. he was there until the day they closed the doors he was a company man through and through. McLean's always been a part of our family

How about the the complete trucking history of Thomas' English Muffins; they resided at 930 N Riverview Dr Totowa, NJ they were prominent in the 60s 70s and 80s

I would like to hear about Victory Motor Express in Dayton Ohio they started out on Calumet Lane in Dayton Ohio

How about doing history on Wagner transportation and union Trucking in Kenilworth New Jersey?

History of Builders Transport that will be a good one.

Lexington native here.. I'm 42, so most of these were before my time. Except i do remember seeing Thurston trucks. My father, a retired trucker of 45 years drove for a company called Fleet Transport. There was a small terminal here in Lexington but i vaguely remember riding with him to Charlotte to another terminal there. This would have been between 88-92 time frame

I wish you would place the trucking company history images in chronological order, oldest to newest, and give a time or date for the image, even if only a published image (like from a trade publication--I recognised several BRANCH Ford C models in old Cat Diesel Engine advertisements), instead of bouncing around like you did in the BRANCH history presentation. I assume you are taking images from other electronic image sources, hence the bad cropping or partial images. I would like to know the history of the earlier (1940-1980) regional Common Carrier companies, because we saw them on the road, but not all the companies were nationwide in authority. For instance, I was watching trucks in the LA Basin, so I didn't see trucks much from east of the Rockies in the 1950's and 60's. You don't need music if you have narration, but don't use computer generated narration. We do NOT have to SEE the narrator--this is not newsroom TV! They (TV) are very unimaginative and just entertain on personality--truck history should be about the trucks. Don't give us non-USA trucks either!

I loved driving those old trucks, and Double Diamond was a great company to drive for.
