William Reed's firewood delivery and household moving business began in 1940 with the help of his son, Alvin and their wives Floy and Dorothy. Reed's Fuel Company had two trucks, and after a year gave up the household moving business to concentrate on firewood hauling, now known as Reed's Fuel. In 1942 another truck was added and in 1946 one of five trucks was converted to household fuel oil deliveries.
As people began heating their homes with sawdust, equipment was updated to meet customer's needs. In 1951 the fuel oil portion of the business was sold, in 1952 two flatbed trucks were purchased to haul larger loads of lumber products and in 1959 the first mobile radios were installed in the trucks.
By 1970, Reed's Fuel and Trucking were hauling sawdust, hogged fuel, chips, presto logs, lumber, veneer and plywood with a combined fleet of 46 power units and 31 trailers.
