Celebrating 100 years
In this day and age, celebrating the 100-year anniversary of a company is a rarity. S.R. Holland probably wasn't looking ahead 100 years when he acquired the team of horses and buggies that started Holland Brothers Trucking, which eventually became Holland Transfer Company. He was concerned about satisfying his customers - Customer Satisfaction remains as the primary focus of Holland Transfer Company.
