“The customer-centric culture of Midwest Truck Service aligns perfectly with Blaine Brothers’ commitment to providing superior customer service,” says Tim Grabow, vice president, Blaine Brothers. “We feel confident that the technicians and staff on the Midwest team can deliver the high level of service that our customers have come to expect. We believe that both customers and employees will benefit from the synergies and impact that come with this acquisition.”

Blaine Brothers also recently celebrated CFO Mike Gray’s 35-year anniversary with the company.

“From our original humble beginnings, when he worked alongside my father to our current growth mode, Mike has always been the most honest, dedicated, thorough and considerate person any of us will ever have the good fortune to know,” says Dally. “I hope our industry partners will join me in congratulating Mike on his 35 years with Blaine Brothers, or maybe congratulate Blaine Brothers for 35 years with Mike.”
