  1. I have a stock certificate for shares of Interstate Motor Freight that I purchased in 1981. I’m just wondering if it has any value as i don’t believe it’s traded any more on the Stock Exchange.

    Please let me know.

    Thank you very much.

    1. Hi! Unfortunately all of the trucking company stocks from the 1980s are no longer worth anything other than collector’s value. You might try selling it under Trucking Company Collectibles on EBay. Before doing so please send my a good photo of it so I can include it in my history of the company. Thanks!
