10-4 Magazine / March 2025 23 are the glue that hold this organization together, with extra help from amazing people like Jason Mayrand of Flat Top Transport, Brian Hitchcock of MBH Trucking, and Tyler’s (Jeremy’s son) fiancé Anna. Special thanks from Eric to his wife Jodi for her love, support, and putting up with all of this. To his mom and dad for all the guidance, to his brother that he is pretty thankful to be able to work with, and to all the drivers and employees for their years at the company. Special thanks from Jeremy to his wife Anne for her love, support, being there for it all, and for keeping everything moving, both at home and at work. To his kids and grandkids who are very important to him, and to all the employees who help make it all go around. Some people briefly pass through your life, while others remain constant. I met Eric for the first time in Missouri about a month after wildfires wreaked havoc on Kansas and Oklahoma in 2017 as he and others were hauling hay from Michigan to aid ranchers in Kansas. I met Jeremy not long after, and these brothers have remained my friends and two people I admire, not only for what they do in the industry, but for who they are, as well. I was able to meet their father Bruce Hassevoort last year at the grand opening of the new facility. It was nice to see the facility, hang out with the family, meet most of the employees, and see a father and his two sons amidst it all. As always, to all the drivers out there doing the deal, truck safe. n
