Abstract:
In 1933, C. Grier Beam bought a second-hand truck and began hauling produce and fruit from Florida. In 1937, he purchased Mauney Transfer, merged it with his company, and Carolina Freight Carriers was born. Today the company has grown from one truck to more than 3,000 pieces of equipment and is among the largest trucking firms in the country. Predictions for gross revenues in 1970 are around $60 million.
