In 1978, I owned and operated a Kenworth truck and trailer, hauling sand and gravel. Consequently, keeping the truck clean was a constant chore. Nevertheless I believed having a clean truck was a top priority and like many drivers, I devoted a lot of time and attention to keeping my truck shining.
One day, I decided to dress up the “ugly cast wheels” on my Kenworth. I grabbed some sheet metal, headed |

into my shop and cut and formed some wheel covers that I then had chromed. I admit that the first wheel covers were pretty crude, but they really improved the look of my truck. In fact, the look was so dramatic that other truckers and operators started asking where I got them.
It wasn’t long before my wife Sherri and I started manufacturing and marketing wheel covers out of our home. I hauled during the day and made wheel covers at night. The demand was exceptional and soon we moved the operation to a 2,500 sq. ft. industrial building. With the help of my wife and my father, the business flourished and the product line expanded. |
