Brothers Transportation was
started in 1986 by the four Hill Brothers,
but their experience in the trucking
industry goes back three generations. |
| |
Their
grandfather, Robert L. Hill,
retired from PIE as district
manager of the Midwest in 1970. His
trucking career began as an office
manager with McMaken Transportation
in 1932. He went on to
work for RISK of Omaha in 1935
and was transferred to Chicago. There
he eventually went to work for
Union Freightways and was transferred
back to Omaha in 1946. Later,
Union Freightways was bought
out by PIE, and Robert climbed
the corporate ladder to district
manager and retired in 1970.
|
| Their
father, John "Pete" Hill,
began his career with Union Freightways
in 1949. It was here he
met LaRue. They married
in 1952. Pete went on to
work for Boss Truck Lines, and
together he and Lu began their
family. In 1962, he started
working for Sioux Transportation. The
older children were brought in
to learn the trucking business. Pete
resigned as executive vice president
in 1977 and formed Hill Truck
Line with his wife, Lu and older
son, Pete, Jr. |
| Soon
the rest of the family began
work in the operation and eventually
the brothers formed Hill Brothers
Transportation. |
