Two years without our fearless leader.

We’ve hauled over 1 BILLION pounds of freight and run more than 8 MILLION miles. And in all the motion - moving 950 pounds every minute and running 80,000 miles week after week - a piece of you has kept right on rolling with us.

You made the first sales call. You grabbed the first gear. You turned the first wrench. You ran the first mile. Mom gave you your first dispatch, updated our first customer, and billed our first invoice. Together you gave all of us our first opportunity.

While you were out putting clicks on the odometer, Mom held everything steady behind the scenes in a bedroom‑turned‑office and was still able to see to our home, and us kids. She carries that same strength forward today - holding the course steady and keeping the wheels turning.

You live on now in how the job gets done. In how the equipment is maintained, how the route is run, how the customer is handled, and how the freight is delivered. From the yard to the cab, from the shop to the office, and in sales you have set the bar. Your expectations still define the work.

You’re no longer at the wheel, but you’re still our compass - pointing us towards integrity, commitment, and follow through - every single time. We will forever possess a genuine commitment to getting the job done – no matter how big or small.

Your legacy rolls on in every mile that we run. What you set in motion together doesn’t slow down, it carries on.

Cheers, Dad!
