Keep on truckin’
It’s been a while. Some 30 years ago, we started a small trucking company. One that grew into one of the larger private carriers in the Commonwealth. It wasn’t what we started out to do; no, we were really running a small medical device manufacturer. But, our customers wanted just-in-time delivery (sometimes just-in-breath delivery) and most of them had no loading docks and no warehouse crew. If we wanted their business, we needed to deliver to their clinics, arrange their stock, etc.
Keep on Truckin? Nope, not any more…
Many of you know I used to own a trucking corporation. It was a captive- in other words, we used our authority (trucking registration) to haul our own products and raw materials. We operated up and down the East and West Coasts, and radiated out to and from the Midwest.
