1965

Gerdin graduated from Moorhead State University in Minnesota in 1965 and went to work for his father's company.

But, in 1979, the trucking industry was deregulated, opening new opportunities for the smaller companies in the industry.

1989

After a drop in earnings early in 1989, the company moved to shed the less profitable of its new customers.
