Utility Celebrates 100 Years Of Building Trailers

In 1914 when two brothers, E.W. Bennett and H.C. Bennett set out to invent a more efficient way to make deliveries, they designed and built a single axle trailer capable of transporting 60 bales of cotton. These two visionaries were at the forefront of a new era in transportation, laying the foundation for a company that continues to shape the future of trailer manufacturing.
