Inc.. in WilkesBarre. PA. may very well be the oldest continually familyowned trucking business In the United States. Friedmans Express. Inc.. or FXI. was founded by Simon Friedman in 1910. Emigrating from Russia a few years earlier. Simon began with nothing more than a wheelbarrow which he used to pick up goods at the train station and deliver to local merchants. Soon. he had enough money to purchase a horse and wagon and open a small warehouse.
