Dow Jones Description

In 1977, NEMF (New England Motor Freight), then a small regional trucking company owned by Farmland Dairy, was in ruins, almost ready to close. Enter Mike Shevell, a man with trucking in his blood, a vision in his head and determination in his heart. The story of how Shevell pulled NEMF back from the brink of failure and made it into one of the country's foremost regional LTL (less-than-truckload) carriers is not just a story about a man building a successful business. It's about rebirth - of a man, his family, and his company. Myron P. "Mike" Shevell himself was no stranger to adversity. The son of a trucking family, he had entered the industry in his youth, dedicated his life to it and by age 36 had worked his way to the top of Eastern Freight Ways, then the third largest truckload carrier in the country. In 1976, plagued by financial problems caused by an acquired company, Eastern went out of business. Shevell's soaring career plummeted to earth. It was at this personal low point that the opportunity came to buy NEMF, which was at its nadir as a business. Losing 30 cents on the dollar at the time, NEMF was a company nobody wanted. Despite the skepticism and even outright scorn of others in the industry, Shevell determined that both he and his new company would rise together from the ashes.
