About CDL Positions at Bancroft & Sons

Just four years after becoming independent, Charles was successful in bidding on his first U.S. Mail contract and was awarded the Dallas-Wichita Falls mail route. Little did he know at that time that many years later he would be among the southwest areas prime Postal Contractors!

Charles moved the business to 1609 109th Street, acquired his second U.S. Mail contract and was awarded the Dallas-Lake Charles, Louisiana route. 1984 brought the successful bidding on his third U.S. Mail route from Dallas to Albuquerque, New Mexico. He received his 48 State Common Carrier Authority in 1986, allowing him to transport General Commodities Freight by tractor trailer all over the United States. By 1989, Charles had over 30 trucks hauling his three U.S. Mail contracts and his consolidated G.S.A. freight to over nine different states. It was also at this point that all four sons were active in the business and Bancroft and Sons Transportation had truly become a family business.

The company gave up its G.S.A. business and dedicated itself to hauling brokered freight and U.S. Mail and by 2001 the company had nearly 80 trucks with 75% of those mostly hauling general commercial freight. But by years end, due to the terrorist attacks on 9/11 at the New York Twin Towers and the Pentagon, the U.S. Postal Service stopped flying most of the mail by air due to the increase of security and decided to use dedicated truck carriers to haul the mail normally put on planes. Bancroft and Sons was lucky enough to win several of the contracts the USPS put up for bid and converted their entire fleet from running commercial freight to hualing U.S. Mail within just a matter of weeks. By 2007, the company had more than 130 trucks hauling U.S. Mail and Mail equipment across the United States.
