In 1966, Jim Martin and his wife Marybelle, founded Transit Damaged Freight while Jim was still working for Glosson Freightways in Lexington, North Carolina. The damaged furniture was primarily what Glosson had, then Jim started buying transit damaged furniture from factories, other trucking companies, even some from the railroad. Jim started to add more and more new undamaged furniture through the years.
He bought discontinued lines and close-outs and sold it at outlet prices. After building relationships in the industry, Jim gained access to almost all manufactures and their catalogs. For the ones he did not have access to, he used trucking companies. He later expanded from his Lexington store to offer 6 stores and 2 warehouse buildings across North Carolina.
Jim's sons, daughter and grandchildren all began working together within the company. In the early 2000s, Jim's son Jerry Martin took over alongside his sister Tracie Landreth and brother Tommy Martin. They helped to grow the Transit Damaged Freight name and continue the long history of providing quality furniture at affordable prices just like their mom and dad.
