Enjoyed your story and the history. As I recall, the old man of Walmart was big on buying American. Wasn't it when his kids took charge that they started buying overseas? May have been circumstances as much as differing values that drove the change.
I wonder if Hunt's success in the trucking industry rode the coattails of Walmart? And Tyson could have benefitted from Hunt's success?
Anyway, thanks for the thoughtful story!
Wonder no more:
Tyson - founded 1931
JB Hunt Trucking - founded 1961
JB Hunt trucking started out hauling rice hulls for chicken houses and refrigerated trailers hauling finished chickens.
