Mike, I just read the DSNY thread. That was fascinating. I think you’re off base by saying there isn’t any interest in public works trucking

Carolina established Sea Highways Inc. in 1960 which was a roll-on roll-off trailer ship freight service connecting US and Canada with Central America. In 1963, Carolina became a publicly owned company. Between 1936 and 1984 the company bought 22 carriers the last ones being Cardinal Freight Carriers, G.I. Trucking and Red Arrow Freight lines those 3 ones being operated as subsidiaries of Carolina.
In 1995, just few months before its take over by ABF Carolina change its name for Worldway which got the structure of a holding overseeing Carolina , Cardinal, G.I. Red Arrow in addition to Caro Trans (international ocean transportation), Innnovative Logistics and The Complete Logistics Company.
