A century ago, fresh food couldn't travel far. Ice melted, food spoiled, and what you ate depended on where you lived. Then in 1938, an inventor named Frederick McKinley Jones designed a refrigeration unit that could ride on a truck, and it changed how America eats.
Today, trucks move nearly three quarters of America's freight. Groceries, medicine and vaccines all depend on the cold chain.
That's where we come in. In 1980, Steven Aaron started Stevens Transport in Dallas, Texas with just 10 trucks. Today our family business runs more than 2,500 trucks and 4,700 trailers across the U.S., Canada and Mexico, keeping America's food and medicine at the right temperature, mile after mile.
45+ years. One family. Still keeping America fresh.
Watch the full story and share it with someone who's never thought about how their food gets to the shelf.
