Central Freight Lines, Inc.
 PROFILE
Shipping freight is central to Central Freight Lines, a leading regional less-than-truckload (LTL) carrier in the US, with more that 7,000 trucks, trailers, and vans in its fleet. Specializing in next-day and second-day service in 15 states, Central operates more than 90 terminals, mostly in the South and West. Founded in 1925, Central was first acquired by trucking firm Roadway (now Caliber System) in 1993, then purchased in a 1997 LBO by a group of managers led by CEO Jerry Moyes. Outside its main service area, Central partners with New England Motor Freight in the Northeast and with Oak Harbor Freight in the Pacific Northwest.
