WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO START YOUR BUSINESS? As a child, I spent many Saturdays with my father, Bob Plank, as he dealt with his weekly paperwork in the trucking fi eld, where he worked for more than 35 years. After 25 years in the corporate world, my wife and I wanted to return to the area and when the opportunity presented itself to purchase a logistics company, I knew it was the right fi t for me. WHAT DO YOU LIKE ABOUT DOING BUSINESS LOCALLY? Andy Plank Blue Eagle Logistics fi lls a niche for local businesses who want to make sure that their time-sensitive freight is handled safely. The shipments we handle are expedited to fi ll an important need, such as delivering a part required to keep a manufacturing plant running, a hospital machine needed for a patient’s specialty testing, medicine being air freighted to someone in need, or even a family’s Christmas gift arriving in time for the holiday.
