A Decisive Leadership

There was a time, when recession hit the business hard and at the same instant Sheila Ewing became seriously ill and needed a care giver.

Since that time, John has been looking for ways to get the business back where it used to be as a leader in the industry.
John is considered an expert in the area of computers, software and accounting for the trucking business. In addition to this, John has been part of Land Line Now, a radio show where he answers the questions of truckers regarding these areas in their business.
Bringing a Company into Existence

In 1992, they became Owner/Operators and their needs expanded. John set out to rewrite the program to meet their new needs. And the program began to expand to meet their ever growing needs to keep up with both, the technology as well as the changing rules and regulations. After ensuring the program is working, they started sharing it with their friends and colleagues, and as their request and needs expanded, John responded to meet them all.
