Mount Trucking Inc. company history timeline

1896

Winton went into the business of “horseless carriages” in 1896, so today he would be known as a carmaker.

1898

The Winton Motor Carriage Company of Cleveland sold their first twenty-two manufactured cars in 1898, and this created the need for the cars to be delivered to their buyers.

1899

That design was soon modified to put the trailer in the back, and he sold his first “semi-truck” in 1899.

In 1899, Winton Motor Carriage started manufacturing the hauler for its own use as well as other car manufacturers.

1900

Founded in 1900 in Brooklyn, N.Y., the company developed and manufactured its own engines that were equipped with an automatic starter, making the hand-crank obsolete.

1915

1915—Charles H. Martin patents the fifth wheel coupling device.

1916

1916—Mack introduces its first rear-axle truck.

1918

1918—John C. Endebrock created the “trailmobile”— an iron chassis mounted on wheels that could be pulled behind a model T.

In 1918, he incorporated the Fruehauf Trailer Company, which is still a leading maker of semi trailers today.

1920

George Cassens took the vehicle hauling business to the next level in the 1920’s.

1953

1953—Freightliner introduces the first overhead sleeper.

1991

In 1991, Ed and Kaye’s son, John Corcoran, was appointed President and Chief Operating Officer, while Ed Corcoran, Jr., manages the 401K plan designed to assure a good retirement and financial success for their valued employees, and several other family members also sit on the Board of Directors.

2016

Fast-forward to 2016, when the first self-driving truck makes a 120-mile trip to deliver cargo in Colorado, and you can see just how far truck design has come from those early days!
