Hi folks. So, we're new to the message board and would like to introduce ourselves. My husband and I have started a trucking company and the employees include our son, daughter and son's fiance. We haul LTL freight and produce. We hope to expand our business in the near future. My husband has been in the trucking industry for 30+ years in a variety of roles--everything from owner/operator to mechanic to dispatcher.
The real reason we started our business is because we are tired of working ourselves to the bone for someone else and not being appreciated for it. We have two small grandsons that we hope to be able to build a future for through our business. We love spending time with our family and going to/watching Nascar (go #20), the Indianapolis Colts, Chicago White Sox and IU Hoosiers basketball. Oh, by the way, we are transplanted Hoosiers--we've lived in Northeastern Illinois for 13 years moving here from Southern Indiana where my husband and I were born and raised.
The foundation of our company is built around our employees. They come first with us!! Without good employees, we don't have a good business.
You'll probably see many posts from us asking questions as we are new to running a business ourselves. We're looking forward to building a network of valuable resources and hope we can contribute as well. |
