This is the 3rd trucking company our owner started Jan. 14th 2010 at 84 years old. His first was Poole Truck Line running east of the Rockies, sold in the early 80's with 1000 trucks and 3000 trailers. After being out of the business for several years he started Evergreen Transportation Inc. running the southern states with 450 trucks and 800 trailers and after 19 years, sold it. After selling the company to a couple of crooks who ran it in the ground and milked it dry, Mr. Poole bought what was left from the banks, now Evergreen Transport and made a profit the first month in business which was Jan. of this year. Is also when I returned as Terminal Mgr. at our Jackson, Al. location.
Just another story of a nobody who never finsihed high school buying his first pick up in the early 50's to haul sand around town to make ends meet to a man all who are in the trucking business know or have heard of.
