The Truckline Its Own Drivers Bought, Then Lost!
Pacific Intermountain Express was once one of the most recognizable freight lines in America — famous for its coast-to-coast routes, hard-working docks, and strange dromedary tractors that squeezed every legal inch out of the road. PIE started with two Model A Fords in 1927 and grew by buying routes, bankrupt carriers, and operating rights in the old regulated trucking world. Its drom trucks became part of West Coast freight history, a practical answer to length laws and long-haul economics. But when deregulation hit, the old protected giants had to fight in a market they were never built for. Then came the wage giveback, the “I’m an owner” buttons, the sale, and the collapse that left drivers, dock workers, creditors, and families holding the damage. This is the story of Pacific Intermountain Express, the truckline its own workers tried to save, only to watch it disappear. --------- We do not fully own the material compiled in this video.
