North American Van Lines, or NAVL, is a large, United States based trucking company originally formed in Cleveland, Ohio and later based in Fort Wayne, Indiana, which specializes in home and office relocations. ==History== North American Van Lines was established in 1933 by a group of 12 agents. By 1938 the network expanded to 120 agents, and with time, it grew into one of the largest trucking companies.〔(NORTH AMERICAN VAN LINES HISTORY ), navl.com〕 In 1947, NAVL moved from Cleveland, Ohio to Fort Wayne, Indiana.〔 In 1952 NAVL became an international company, with the addition of its International Transportation Service business.〔 In 1959 NAVL bought Creston Transfer, moving new furniture, fixtures, and similar household goods throughout the US. This New Product Division was later renamed Commercial Transport in 1981.〔 Beginning in late 1964 NAVL created its STI (Specialized Transportation Inc.) High Value Products Division (HVPD), which later was bought out and taken private as an independent company named Specialized Transportation Inc. The original division began with 20 drivers from the NAVL Exhibit and Display Division, and moved high value electronics for defense installations, contracted by Control Data Corporation, IBM and the computer division of General Electric.〔 On May 10, 1966 NAVL created its subsidiary Transtar Services, Inc. in Brentwood, TN. Transtar Services supported a group of rail and water carriers of fuel, raw materials and steel freight around the Great Lakes, as wholly owned transportation subsidiaries of United States Steel Corporation, now USX Corporation (). In December 1988 the companies were organized as the USX subsidiary, Transtar, Inc.〔(Union Railroad )〕〔(Transtar History ), tstarinc.com〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「North American Van Lines」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
