They wanted to get the Federal government to agree to standardize LCV regulations for this region. The reason I looked into this is because one day it dawned on me that I had never seen certain types of LCV's that are common in neighboring Nevada and UT (like the blue Peterbilt) operating in Oregon so I did some research.

I’m curious... not sure how to see. It would be cool if FMCSA/DOT would publish neat stats like that. -

Can’t remember 100% though. -
Do you want to know the oldest brand still operating?
or
The oldest brand still operating that's also currently owned by the founding family?
Companies are frequently bought and sold in this industry, the new owner will often continue to use the acquired companies name. This practice is frequent with holding companies.Last edited: Jan 5, 2018

I like reading about the early years of some of these carriers. I was sitting in the front office waiting to see HR the other day and found a book on the history of my own company. There were lots of pictures of the founders wife behind the wheel in the late 30's and 40's running loads. Turns out she was a major driving force behind the company's growth, and when he thought about selling put her foot down and refused. She said she put too much work into it to want to see it go to someone else.

My company is still operating owned by the same family been in business over 100 years, however the new generation isn't as interested as the old generation.
However, my company doesn't count because I don't work for a trucking company. Actually I've never worked for a trucking company, isn't that funny?4mer trucker and Mike_77 Thank this.
