Focused on the Road Ahead
In 2009, Trinity will celebrate its 30th anniversary, and has recently unveiled its corporate emblem to commemorate the occasion. The road moving through the number "30" alludes to our internal motto for 2009, "Focused on the Road Ahead." Our overall corporate theme for 2009 is "Advancing Excellence".
As a team, we eagerly look forward to the next 30 years of success, continually building on our rich history while providing exceptional service to our customers and carriers. There's no telling where the road ahead may take us, but as a team we're committed to keeping our eyes on the road, focused on future goals ahead. What sets Trinity apart from the other thousands of brokers is this commitment from a team to never settle for less than excellence. When it comes to serving customers, carriers, or fellow peers, our tradition is to strive for excellence. In 2009, we plan to take it up another notch and continue moving forward, advancing to the next level.
For Such A Time As This
By Ed and Deana Banning
Co Founders, Trinity Transport, Inc.
Deana and I are reminded of what took place thirty years ago, this coming March, 2009: In the middle of February, 1979, we prayed for God's direction, asking Him to show us what He wanted us to do. This prayer continued daily for about a week, without a confirmation. As we prayed hat night, before going to bed, we asked God for a fleece, to show us the name He wanted us to give
the business we were to venture into? We also asked, in faith, that He would impress upon each of our minds, individually, the name of the business He wanted us to build; at which time we would each write our impression on separate pieces of paper. Neither of us had made any decision at that moment and did not discuss any names until 7 A.M. the next morning, when we each wrote TRINITY TRANSPORT on separate papers. We shouted with joy, thanking God for answering our fleece. There has never been any doubt, then or since, that the name and direction came totally from God!
After fifteen years of owning and operating Trinity Transport, Inc., we decided to sell stock in the company to two of our sons. Fifteen years later, all four of our children work for and operate the company, which God gave us in 1979. All the glory goes to God, from whom all blessings flow!
As God founded America in 1776, two hundred years later, He founded Trinity Transport. It took thirty years of growth for this thought to cross our minds. Our family believes in our Nation's motto, "IN GOD WE TRUST" and have operated His company, the best we know how, with Christian principles. Deana and I are well pleased at the progress our children have made
in this business, with God's help, giving Him all the glory! Today and always, we must remember.
