FreightWaves Classics: A. Duie Pyle has been delivering service for nearly 100 years

A. Duie Pyle

In 1924, Alexander Duie Pyle worked for Lukens Steel in Coatesville, Pennsylvania. But he wanted to own his own business, so he purchased two trucks and began A. Duie Pyle, a trucking company. Lukens Steel (now part of ArcelorMittal), his former employer, became Pyle’s first customer (a relationship that lasted more than 90 years). 

Nearly 100 years later, A. Duie Pyle, Inc. is one of the largest trucking companies in the United States.
