Established by Robert Bailey.
The Bailey family made a business of delivering 40-quart cans of milk to New Haven.
People in the community realizing that the Baileys were heading into the city would
ask if they would mind picking up this or that. What started out as a favor
for people in the community grew into a trucking company that now employs 75 people
and a fleet of 35 trucks. |
