Company Overview/History

James S. Hollabaugh (Jim) started Frontier Trailer Sales, Inc. in 1979. Jim began his career in the trailer industry in 1968 with the Fruehauf Trailer Corporation. Jim formed Frontier as a dealership of new Fruehauf tank trailers, though a large portion of the profits came from the selling of used tank trailers . An opportunity to expand into tanker trailer repair  and parts distribution was recognized in 1988. Frontier Tank Center, Inc. opened in 1988 in Richfield, OH, not far from Cleveland, Akron and Pittsburgh, PA.
