PART
2: HERE WE GROW!
<BACK
Over the years, Teddy’s Transport was literally a family ran
business, with only family driving. Ted & Mary’s daughters
and sons-in-law drove as needed: some full-time and some part-time.
However, in 1988 they bought their first 24’ straight truck
and hired their first full-time, non-family employee. Over time
they added employees and trucks. At this point they did most of
their expediting in the state of Michigan, with occasional deliveries
in Indiana, Illinois, and Ohio. Teddy’s Transport was growing
by word of mouth. Ted & Mary never had a sales person marketing
or promoting their business. It grew based on their reliability,
honesty, and the reputation they were building.
By 1994 Teddy’s
Transport had grown into quite a fleet. It forced them to move to
their current facility in Holland, Michigan. At this time Teddy’s
Transport offered full nationwide expediting service. NEXT>
