With the Haul of Fame we hope to bring this history to life and preserve it for generations to come.
Chattanooga’s fast-growing trucking industry is getting a museum of its own.
Called the trucking Haul of Fame, the museum and archive library dedicated to the industry’s history will open downtown early next year, said Craig Fuller, chief executive officer of Chattanooga startup FreightWaves.
Freightwaves CEO and Managing Director Craig Fuller holds a diecast truck while talking about the company’s new Haul of Fame logistics museum on Wednesday, Nov. 28, 2018, in Chattanooga, Tenn. Freightwaves plans to open the Haul of Fame trucking museum at the Market Street location of its new headquarters along with an event and social space for logistics industry workers called Freight Alley.Fuller said the museum will open in April in 10,500 square feet of space connected to the new 412 Market St. headquarters of FreightWaves, which focuses on transportation and logistics data and content.
He said the museum will revolve around trucking entrepreneurs and companies, unlike other facilities nationally which tend to highlight vehicles.
