#overnite

J. Harwood Cochrane began his career in the early 1930s and founded Overnite in 1935. After dropping out of school at 16, J. Harwood Cochrane delivered milk around Richmond, Va., in a horse-drawn wagon. Within a few years, he started a trucking company that helped change the way goods are moved around America. When Mr. Cochrane began his career in the early 1930s, railroads dominated freight shipments, leaving only the short-haul scraps for truckers lurching down rutted roads in vehicles that regularly broke down. That changed as trucks became larger and more efficient and the Interstate highways created smooth passages to suburban malls and factories that could be served much faster by truckers than railroads stuck to their fixed rails. Mr. Cochrane’s Overnite Transportation thrived in periods of both increased and decreased regulation. He fended off the Teamsters union and squeezed costs; his secretary cut used envelopes into note paper that he used for writing memos. In 1986, Mr. Cochrane sold Overnite to the railroad operator Union Pacific Corp. for $1.2 billion. “He was the best trucker of us all,” said Earl Congdon Jr., chairman of Old Dominion Freight Line, another trucking giant with roots in Virginia. He died July 25, 2016 at 103 years old! #overnitetransportation #overnite #throwback #workingtruck #workingtrucks #history #vintage #missthosedays #13yearsago #rustytruck #rustytrucks #throwbackpic #yearago #thosewerethedays #throwbackthursday #ayearago #throwback🔙 #cdljob #cdljobs #cdlhunter Follow @cdlhunter https://www.instagram.com/p/CW_M4HjpIOF/?utm_medium=tumblr
