LUDINGTON — Ludington-based trucking company, Quick-Way, Inc. is celebrating its 30 year in business this month, commemorating three decades of best-in-class service and an excellent safety record.

Some would say the trucking industry is in William (Bill) Dunn’s blood.

Dunn's father was a driver himself, and his parents also owned a bulk tanker trucking company in Saginaw. Dunn grew up “talking shop” at the dinner table, spending many days at the trucking terminal, and started driving professionally at a young age.

In December 1991, Quick-Way commenced operations with the first shipment hauled for Dow Chemical Company, an original supporting shipper. From there, Dunn grew the company, adding his first employees in 1994. Two of those employees are still with the company today.

Mike Tyndall has been a driver at Quick-Way, Inc. for 27 of its 30 years in business. He appreciates the entire Quick-Way team as a talented group of individuals that pull together to get the job done.

“It is kind of funny that people will ask me when I am going to retire and I am thinking, why?" said Tyndall. “Maybe slow down a little, but it’s great to have a job that you look forward to doing every day. Plus, you get great pay and benefits!”

The company started from a small rental facility and has since grown to its current location on Conrad Industrial Drive in Ludington. The building has seen three major expansions and includes two tank wash bays, two maintenance bays and a full suite of administrative offices. The company has 39 employees.

With safety and integrity at its core values, Quick-Way continues to be a preferred carrier for customers who need non-hazardous bulk liquid products hauled throughout the Midwest. The company has drivers working from several locations including Ludington and Midland, Kankakee and Lansing, Illinois, Jeffersonville, Indiana and actively hiring in the Toledo, Ohio area.

When asked about how he would describe the last 30 years, Dunn said, “It has been challenging, fulfilling and enjoyable.”

He continued, “Thank you to all of those who helped make this business successful-the employees, the customers and my family.”

As the company looks back at major milestones over the years, not least of which is its Responsible Care Certification in 2019, it also looks to the future as Dunn and team set even more challenging goals, milestones and service initiatives.

Quick-Way’s continuous improvement culture is key to its success over the last three decades, a necessary factor for success in an industry as tumultuous and competitive as trucking.
