DRIVE FOR EQUITY - Key Persons
Alan started to work for his grandfather's trucking company as a young boy starting with airing tires and checking lights, eventually doing more tasks as he learned. After high school, at 18 years old, Alan drove truck for him on a route from Grand Rapids to Flint, Lansing, and Detroit. Alan hauled double bottom flat beds loaded with 60,000 pounds of plaster board. These trailers needed to be tarped in those days, heavy canvas was used to cover the loads.
A year later, a new employer had Alan's number- the United States Army. After the service, he went to work for Bender & Loudon Motor Freight in Richfield, Ohio for 7 years as a dispatcher, then back to his grandfather's company which was now owned by his father.
