PROFILE |
 |
A family business involved in trucking, seafood, and concrete may sound fishy, but the highly diversified Watkins Associated is on the up and up. Its Watkins Motor Lines is a long-haul, less-than-truckload (LTL) carrier serving customers in the US, Canada, and Mexico. The trucking company operates some 2,800 tractors, 10,500 trailers, and 135 terminals. Its services include online tracking and expedited delivery. Watkins Associated's other activities include shrimp processing, real estate development (the company owns about 20 strip shopping centers and 4,500 apartment units), door manufacturing, bridge building, and citrus growing. Bill Watkins founded the family-owned company in 1932 with a $300 pickup truck.
