We move more than things. We move people. We move homes, families, and small businesses. As a result, we have created a community that reaches across the country, and we don’t want to lose touch!

This month Camelot celebrates its 40th anniversary! So it's time to reminisce over our 40-year journey and all its twists and turns. After all, the lessons we learned along the way helped shape the company we are today.

I'm looking forward to the twists and turns ahead … but hopefully with fewer bumps in the road!

The transmissions, the brakes, the fuel, the mechanics, and even the thermometers continue to evolve. Each piece of technology is only as good as the person operating it. And each operator is only as good as their understanding of their tools.
Read MoreAs we approach the end of the year, your “have-to” list might be growing exponentially. But in all that you have to do, what are you really looking forward to, big or small? We asked around. The answers were refreshing in scope (nothing too big) and refreshing in purpose (often focused on connecting with loved ones). We offer them here as a “suggested serving” of how to close out the year with joy, connection, and simplicity.
Read MoreWith no pause on demand for deliveries, what do Camelot and other over-the-road drivers do when we have a hankerin' for turkey and stuffing around the end of November?
