It all started when…
W. L. Logan, Sr. (Bill) graduated from Lincoln High School in Canton, OH and went immediately into the service with the Merchant Marines. He spent two years on a troop ship sailing back and forth from Europe and England. Upon his discharge, Logan took a job at Republic Steel Berger Division as an apprentice electrician. After working there for several years and being on strike most of the time, he knew it was time for a change.
Bill decided to give trucking a try. Bill’s father mortgaged the family home to finance his first outfit. With a new 1948 Reo, a used dump trailer, and his own coal account at the Chase Bag Company in Chagrin Falls, Ohio, Bill began his career in trucking.
His career in trucking took a pause when he was asked to serve for a second time in the Korean conflict. Returning home from his tour, he married his wife Betty in 1953. Betty was his most successful business partner. In 1968, when the coal business in Ohio took a drastic down-turn because of high sulfur content, Bill shifted and purchased an Ohio Interstate Certificate.
Logan's two sons joined the company after each graduated from college. William Logan Jr. joined in 1975, and Robert Logan arrived in 1976. With good educations and strong family support, they hit the ground running and the company has been growing ever since.
