"The RFX Companies" consist of RFX, Inc., a licensed transportation intermediary, Refrigerated Food Express, Inc., a common and contract carrier, and RFX Specialized Division. Current annual revenues for The RFX Companies are approximately $65 million.
"The RFX Companies" began with the founding of Refrigerated Food Express, Inc. on August 11, 1952 by Thomas E. Welby, Sr. With roots in transportation dating back to the late 1930s, Mr. Welby ran the business until 1960.
After his death, his wife, Marion M. Welby successfully ran the company for 18 years. She was one of only a handful of women running a trucking company during the height of trucking regulation. She earned the respect of industry leaders all around the country at a time when it was not common for a woman to be a president or a CEO.
She subsequently passed the reins to their son, Tom Jr., who took over as president and CEO. Tom's keen business sense, passion, and energy guided the company through the post-regulation years until his death in December of 2000.
Strong family values shaped RFX over those years into one of the nation's most trusted and capable providers of reliable freight management.
Today the company is run by a strong management team committed to the values of the past. The RFX team - whether it be our personnel at the corporate headquarters, our staff in the regional dispatch offices around the country, or our operators on the road - are dedicated, experienced professionals, committed to honesty, fairness, and quality transportation service.
