In the middle of the 1960's he started working as a truck pusher for Schoenheit Trucking Company. They established a trucking yard in Cardington, Ohio. Their 4th child, John, was born while they were living in Cardington.

The business is now and has always been centered around the oil and gas business. In the beginning the company's primary focus was moving oil and gas rigs. That business fell off a little in the late 1990's and the business sustained by moving gas compressors.

Around 2010 the oil and gas drilling business started to pick up again in the Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia area. Mid-East Truck and Tractor Service, Inc. has grown from 8 trucks in 2010 to more than 25 trucks plus 3 pole trucks and 3 bed trucks today.
