Route 66: The Backbone of American Logistics History

Before there were GPS trackers and sophisticated supply chain software, there was Route 66 affectionally known as the "Mother Road." This iconic highway wasn’t just a symbol of freedom and adventure; it was a lifeline for logistics, connecting industries, communities, and the economy across the heart of America.


Route 66 carried more than families on cross country road trips. It transported goods, equipment, and supplies that kept the nation moving. Its winding path through small towns and major cities created vital hubs for commerce, like the historic Rio Pecos Ranch Truck Terminal, a symbol of resilience and innovation for early logistics pioneers.


Today, while our trucks may no longer rely on this legendary highway, its legacy lives on in every route we plan and every mile we travel. The logistics industry was built on the foundation of roads like Route 66 ensuring that freight reached its destination safely and on time.


Here’s a snapshot of a Kenworth truck, a nod to the past and a testament to how far the industry has come. Posing under the iconic Rio Pecos Ranch Truck Terminal sign reminds us that every mile we drive builds on the history and hard work of those who came before us.


At Coach Logistics, we honor that spirit by continuing to deliver excellence across the country. From historic highways to modern interstates, the road is where we thrive.
