Berner Trucking

The company manages 100 (+/-) tractors and 20 owner/operators. And, the mission statement is still simple: take care of your people, do the right things for the right reasons, and everything else will take care of itself. take care of your people, do the right things for the right reasons, and everything else will take care of itself. In 1979, Jim Knisely, John's son-in-law, joined the company, and helped lead Berner Trucking through the incorporation process. In 1982 the company took a leap forward and ventured into the hazardous waste hauling business. Again, the strategy worked, and Berner Trucking began another period of steady growth. In 1987, Mr. Berner (J.B. to his friends), decided it was time to turn the reins over to the next generation, and he stepped aside to make Jim Knisely president of the company. Over the next few years, a sister brokerage company was formed, Knisely, Inc., to help facilitate company growth and bring owner/operators into the picture. It was also during this time period that Berner moved its operations into a much larger office/garage complex in Dover, Ohio, capable of handling the demands of a rapidly growing business.
