Workplace
Well after high school, a year at GM, a trip to South Vietnam with the Air Force, back to the states, a couple of divorces, I ended up haulng new cars for the largest auto transporter in the country, Allied Systems. Been with them or 25 years, but actually started with my ex-father-in-law in 1973 at Smith Auto Brokers. Just can't get away from cars, being from the Detroit area and all.

th Commercial Carriers in Dearborn, 1983, transferred to Memphis, Tn. in 1986 and became an owner-operator. 1994 they canceled our leaseses and we became company drivers. 1997 Commercial Carriers was bought by Allied Systems which owns us today. We deliver GM, Ford, Toyota, Mazda, Nissan and we do some used car moves for Avis and National Rentals. I'm pretty much regional, covering Tn, Ky, Ar, Ms, La, Mo, Tx, some south In. and Il. I don't usually get more than a day's drive from home, but years ago when the Saturn plant at Spring Hill Tn, first opened we went all over the country. No more , that plant closed.
Now with Jack Cooper Transport, they took over the GM business in March 2011. Still working but the knees are giving me trouble. Getting old SUCKS.
