The Sunset Experience
Born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri, my family owned and operated a small paper products company known as Williams Paper Company, which was started by my grandfather in 1861 and is considered one of the oldest businesses in St. Louis, still in business today.
While working in the family business, I saw an opportunity to use the company trucks out bound from St. Louis and bring back paper goods for the company. Eventually, 80% of our company's trucks were used as for hire instead of hauling our own products, and I had a full time career in the transportation industry.
In 1989, I began Sunset Transportation and recruited brokers that specialized in services such as LTL and diverse product hauling. As the business grew, we automated our freight audit and payment processes allowing us to help customers improve their cost per transaction.
Today, we now have a freight audit and payment division that processes more than 100 million dollars in freight bills a year, as well as a client friendly system that allows our customers the ability to see every transaction. We have also developed internal transaction software that ties into a web quoting system.
A lot has changed since the beginning of Sunset and I've enjoyed every minute of it. I take huge pride in saying we still do business with some of my first customers. This says a lot about Sunset and our relationship with our customers. We enjoy listening to our customers needs and helping them grow their business by providing transportation solutions.
I look forward to the future of the company and its continued success!
