Anderson Trucking Service Brings Wounded Soldier Home
5/25/2007

Anderson Trucking Service Inc. (ATS) recently joined efforts with Veterans Airlift Command (VAC) to bring a wounded soldier back home to Minnesota. Earlier this year, Walter L. Fricke, founder of VAC, contacted John Wojack, chief pilot at ATS, telling him about Sgt. Anthony Larson, a soldier from the St. Cloud area. Larson had spent the past 18 months recovering from injuries he suffered while in Iraq. He was finally going to be released from Walter Reed Hospital in Washington, D.C. and needed a ride back home to Minnesota.

Enter Rollie Anderson, president and CEO of ATS, who immediately agreed to send his company’s jet to pick up the sergeant. On April 28, Sgt. Larson climbed aboard the ATS corporate jet with his dog and family members by his side, to be greeted with a hero’s welcome.

A trucking company with a corporate jet. As long as EVERYONE is making the most money they can, good for them. But if their drivers and owner ops are barely surviving and getting a buck a mile or something just as stupid, then it’s not so great. But if you have one, at least do good things with it.
