Business on a roll for Iowa trucking company that opened in Missoula – Decker Truck Line Inc.

"We chose our Missoula location because the area boasts such an abundance of quality personnel who have a heritage of transportation experience," said Wallace, who has relocated to Iowa to serve as Decker’s general manager of refrigerated operations. "We’re thrilled at what they’ve been able to accomplish is such a short time, especially considering that the division has continued to grow despite the tough economic environment."

After helping save Jim Palmer Trucking from bankruptcy in 2009 and then helping to sell the Missoula-based company to new owners, Lonnie Wallace has moved on to help anchor even more trucking opportunities in town.

Wallace, the former Palmer Trucking president and architect of the company’s Chapter 11 proceedings, has spent the last year opening a Missoula branch office for the 81-year-old Iowa-based company Decker Truck Line Inc. http://www.deckertruckline.com/
