Schaal
Bill began his transportation career in the United States Navy motor
pool. Following the end of his tour of duty he joined the team at
Herrmann Transportation. Herrmann provided cartage services to
Dixie-Ohio. During his time at Herrmann, Bill served in all facets of
the operation including dispatcher, dock foreman, and driver. In 1969,
Bill and a partner purchased Hardinger Transfer Company. The original
company, born in the late eighteen hundreds, was a one horse, one man
