Sponsored by “TCA opened a whole new world to me, a new world of people, education, recognition and development. I have learned so much from other trucking professionals by just sitting in meetings and listening to ideas, best practices and positions on areas of our business.” Congratulations on becoming chairman of the Truckload Carriers Association. What does it mean to you to be chairman? Thank you, it is quite the honor because it is an appointment by my peers. Eight years ago, Kevin Burch and Bob Baylor called on the phone and asked if I would be interested in becoming an officer of the TCA, and here we are. Serving as an officer in any association is a way to pay back to your industry, and the trucking industry has done so much for me and my family that I feel it is the right thing to do. This is normally where we would ask how you got interested in trucking, but apparently trucking is in your blood. You come from a trucking family, Tell us about that. Yes, trucking is in my family. My grandfather was a contractor/trucker and my father and his brothers were all in the trucking business. My father was chairman of the Heavy and Specialized Carriers Conference in 1966, and that was when I attended my first trucking convention. I remember riding in one of the trucks with a driver when I was around 12, and I was hooked. I couldn’t wait to get my chauffeur’s license, now the CDL, when I turned 21. Share what you would like readers to know about Doran Logistics. Doran Logistics started as an agency/brokerage business and has grown to include a trailer leasing unit as well as a small start-up flatbed operation. Share your career path with Doran that led you to your current position. My first job in the business was sweeping floors, cutting grass, and lettering trailers. Then I moved into safety, filed and audited logs, then spent time in the warehouse unloading trucks. In the ’80s I ran a terminal/ warehouse until 1992, when my brothers and sisters asked me to take the reins of the family business. TCA 2018 www.Truckload.org | Truckload Authority 23
