Abstract:

Not many people would start a company in the midst of the Great Depression, but H. D. Horton of Charlotte did. In 1930 he organized a trucking company--Horton Motor Lines. Today, the company has over 350 trucks on the road, operates over 600,000 miles a month, and serves through its sixteen terminals 35,000 customers in ten states on the Eastern seaboard.
