In 2008, after working 10 years for his brother's excavating company, Glenn Vollmer sold his share of a building he owned, took his life savings and a small bank loan, and started his own business. His wife, Angie, assisted with administration work from day 1.
He began with tar and chip (or chip sealing) services using his own pick up truck, a manual distributor truck, and a single-axle dump truck with a spread box. He hired a part-time employee (who is still with us today!). He kept his equipment at his makeshift "garage"- a gravel parking lot his brother let him use.
After a year in business, Glenn saw a need for additional services. This allowed him to rent a real garage and offer asphalt paving. He continued to read and learn everything available. Hard work and determination enabled Glenn to buy a piece of land and build a small garage for his business headquarters. The business hasn't stopped growing since!
