The Company website notes: The Interstate Oil Transportation Company was formed after a company that was referred to as the "Old Boyer Firm," reorganized their operations that included canal towing, and coal barge operations on the Schuylkill River in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In 1931, the Interstate Oil Transportation Company was approached by a man by the named Thornton Dayton Hooper. Who at the time, was supporting a family of five sons. And was seeking out new business opportunities, at the behest of his wife. After being injured in combat, during World War I. Which required that his foot to be amputated above the ankle. Following the end of World War I, Thornton began working for S.C. Loveland Enterprises Incorporated of Pennsville, New Jersey. Thornton approached Lewis Boyer of the newly reorganized Interstate Oil Transportation Company with an idea to service and establish a route along the Cape Fear River, from Wilmington, North Carolina to Fayettville, North Carolina.

As the need for Petroleum products such as gasoline, kerosene, heating oil, diesel fuel, lubricants and asphalt grew. The demand for gasoline forced the refineries to seek more crude oil, far beyond the capacity that railroads could provide. The Interstate Oil Transportation Company began serving this demand, transporting the oil from refineries to points along the Delaware River to areas that included South New Jersey, and eastern Pennsylvania. The equipment at the time, consisted of wooden scow barges, with steel tanks fitted to their decks. And the company's tugs were powered by coal fired steam engines. The Company operated on the routes Thornton established for two years. In exceptionally good condition.…
