Donal Logue Instagram – Twelve years ago, in a moment of mid-life what-if?, I decided to enroll in truck driving school. The experience ended up being far richer than I ever imagined. Not only did I pick up a new skill and career, I made a host of friends who altered the trajectory of my life. I was so impressed by my instructors, Bud and Cathy Williams, that we decided to buy a truck (a ‘95 Peterbilt we named “Sadhb”) and started our own over the road trucking company, Aisling. The early days were difficult, but now our company has grown to nine trucks and we have opened three campuses of our own trucking academy, Aisling Truck Academy, in Oregon.
When we started the company, Bud said, “Won’t it be cool someday to have a Christmas get together for our employees, their families, and our students, and look around and see how many lives we have changed and supported through our efforts?”
I loved Bud’s motivation for why we created the company and the schools.
It’s been a great decade since we started with a single truck and it will be fascinating to see how much might change in trucking and transportation in the decades to come (and how much stays the same).
