history of company
Founder August Charles Fruehauf (1868–1930), was born in Fraser, MI, near what is now Fruehauf Ave., to Charles and Sophie Fruehauf.He was a blacksmith and carriage builder in the DETROIT area. In 1914, he built a boat trailer at the request of a merchant who subsequently asked Fruehauf to build additional trailers to haul lumber and wood products. Fruehauf called his product a SEMI TRAILER. In 1918, Fruehauf incorporated his trailer manufacturing business to form the Fruehauf Trailer Company.
On February 28, 1947 the Fruehauf Corporation purchased the Carter Manufacturing Company. Carter was started in 1927 and based in Memphis, TN with another location in Birmingham, AL. The Carter Manufacturing Company was involved in the manufacturing of truck trailers. For ten years after the purchase all trailers made out the Memphis and Birmingham plants were called Fruehauf-Carter.
In late April 1997, WABASH NATIONAL acquired the assets-in-bankruptcy of Fruehauf Trailer Corporation.
