General Info:

Tucker Company Worldwide is a third generation, family run company founded in 1961 by Jacob A. Tucker, as J. A. Tucker & Company, after purchasing one of the few broker authorities in existence. Tucker served as a contact for shippers of large, capital goods, such as Sun Oil, Campbell Soup, General Electric, Rolls Royce and RCA who were looking to ship oversized and overweight loads. Performance is critical in moving this kind of freight, due to expensive cranes and crews at origin and destination. From 1961 to 1971, under Jake Tucker's leadership, the company specialized in arranging the precise movement of plants, equipment and machinery, some of which involved the heavy industry that was leaving the Northeast, and moving South and West. He spent a career working as a shipper, and a carrier salesman before going into business for himself. With a solid reputation, a loyal following of customers and great carrier partners, Jake "Tucker the Trucker" unexpectedly died in late 1971. His wife Ruth and son Bill set out to sell the business.
