Jeff Foster has always led a life on the go...
He started his career as a pilot and then changed his mode of transportation to trucking.

"I started out with one tractor and I decided I was going to learn the business and see where it would take me," says Foster.

Through the years that business grew to 240 tractors and 650 trailers that travel across the country.

"We are a 48 state carrier plus Canada. We go from Duluth, MN to Seattle, WA to Miami, Florida," says Foster.

Foster expanded the business even more when he purchased the former Superior Georgia Pacific plant and began running three manufacturing companies out of that building.

This growth has allowed the company to employ more than three-hundred people.

"The possibilities of future expansion and growth are always there for us and that will continue to create jobs for the community," Chief Operating Officer Leo Naumann.

Jeff Foster Trucking has operated in the Northland for nearly 30 years.
Over those year it has become quite a family affair.

"I have my brother here, my sons are involved and my son in law. It's really a family business and not only that we have people here that have been here since I started," says Foster.

And that's one of the reasons Foster keeps going back to work day after day.

"It's what we do, the excitement of what we do and the people that I get to spend time with here everyday. It's a pretty nice place," says Foster.
