History

USF Reddaway was founded as Reddaway's Truck Line, Inc. in Oregon City, Oregon by William Arthur "Art" Reddaway (1888 – 1957) with one Ford Model T truck, in June 1919.[3][4] He managed the company with his wife, Ethel May Joslin Reddaway (1886 – 1956). His son, Walter Wayne “Walt” Reddaway (1915 – 1979), later succeeded him, leading the company until his retirement in 1970; he later invented spray guard rain flaps for the trucking industry,[5] for which he received a patent in 1975.[6]
