Seward Motor Freight began as a small freight hauling company in Nebraska in the 1940s and has since expanded its operations across the Midwest, Southeast, South, and East Coast of the United States. As the company has grown, it has joined the Nebraska Trucking Association, the trade association that represents commercial truck drivers, bus operators, and related businesses in the state. The Nebraska Trucking Association was formed in the 1940s through the merger of two prior organizations and helps members by providing resources, contacts, partnerships, and political representation to succeed in the trucking industry in Nebraska.
