The bus company coordinated transportation with national bus lines like Greyhound and Trailways. <br /> <br /> Local banker [[Andy Burbridge]] purchased a controlling staking in the company immediately after [[World War II]] and secured mail transportation contracts with the U.S. Post Office. As the nation's highways expanded, Burbridge began purchasing tractor-trailer rigs to transport the mail. The company became [[Mail Contractors of Arkansas]] (MCA) two years after Burbridge's death in 1985. The company at that time had more than twenty contracts to deliver federal mail. In the early twenty-first century the company expanded to secure 137 Post Office contracts, serving almost a dozen cities across the country. The company currently operates 900 tractors, which travel approximately 104,000,000 miles each year.<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> <br /> *[http://www.mcalogistics.com/Default.htm MCA homepage]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Transportation]]</div>
