Yes, Moot is correct Roberts to Roadway to Caliber to FedEx. Those were the days weren't they. Maybe off topic but this is actually the history of Expediting.
Roberts Rules the Road

Wouldn't be surprised if by the end of the year there will be more.

Express America acquired by Landstar.

Ancient history and I am only reporting what a Landstar agent who said he once owned part or all of Express America once reported to me. As far as I know, this is a little-known development that happened in the very early days of expediting. While this was an interesting historical tidbit to hear at the time, I never followed up to verify it.

Express America was one of the original expedite companies, this agent said.

Yep Phil that is correct, I was looking at them when the buy out happened.

another interesting list is the list of expedite carriers/brokers no longer in business (not through mergers or acquisitions),

probably not enough space here to list all of them
