  On July 23, 1967, we started our transportation company with one truck - and through the help of devoted drivers and an excellent management team, we have grown to be one of the larger mail contractors in the United States. Over the years, the needs of the United States Postal Service have changed. Today, the USPS, like many other companies, is working hard on cutting costs to increase efficiency and profit. Recognizing the changing environment, Eagle Express Lines has worked with the USPS to implement changes that will benefit the USPS, our drivers, and our company. Today, while we are still predominately focused on hauling mail, we also offer our premium service to other industries. As you continue to investigate what Eagle Express Lines has to offer, let me assure you that we have assembled a team of professionals to help you every step of the way. Ask questions!
