My name is Andy Ahern and I am the President and Chief Executive Officer. I have been involved in transportation for 38 years. My company is involved in mergers and acquisitions and the restructuring of transportation and transportation related companies. As such, many of the comments in my weekly blog will be my opinions in reference to the trucking industry. I recognize that in the time of turmoil, for every opinion I may have, there will be an opposing opinion. With that stated, my blog is basically to apprise the trucking community of the challenges it faces based upon my years of experience expertise and the relationships I have with many companies. If you go to www.ahern-ltd.com you’ll notice that I have represented most of the major transportation carriers in the United States and Canada. My blog is basically designed to be informative in nature so that the general public understands the challenges of the trucking industry. It’s important to understand that trucking is 87% of all products in the U.S. and even though we are currently in a major recession, there are 3 necessities of life that all of us as human beings need;

•  Food.
• Clothing, and;
• Shelter.

Trucks provide the movement of those precious commodities throughout the global world. Welcome to my blog, and hopefully you will find it informative and you will be able to take some of my years of expertise and apply it to your own business
