Summary
Bill Rethwisch and his family are an American success story. When Bill and his wife Sarah started out their trucking company nearly 20 years, they had one truck. Today? They have more than 40 – and both their sons are poised to follow in their footsteps, led by 18-year-old Luke, who’s racking up wins on the show truck circuit. From the challenges of starting and growing a business and the importance of relationships to their passion for customizing and showing off the company's trucks and more, Bill and Luke detail their commitment to the trucking industry. Plus, Bob Glenn of Penske joins the show to explain why the time to buy a used truck is now.
