Proven Strategic consulting

Before founding Trucking Tower, Andy Hedrick worked for supply chain technology and consulting companies to sell and implement hundreds of projects with companies spanning Asia, Europe and North America across 24 years.

That hands-on experience, coupled with the need to generate more revenue at the most effective price led Andy to search out the most effective solutions and to partner with other technology companies to drive better results.

In 1992, while earning his Industrial Engineering degree, Andy was the 3rd employee of a logistics software company that would later be acquired by a publicly-traded company.

Directly out of college in 1996, Andy went to work in international supply chain consulting where he was initially tasked with streamlining electronics repair and warehousing operations spanning Mexico and the US for a Fortune 500 electronics manufacturer. He presented results and project plans monthly to the company leadership.

He then traveled to Asia and Europe in delivering projects for other international companies. He was always working to deliver great improvements and to sell the next big improvement idea based on current project goals.

The first consulting company he worked for helped clients launch overseas operations and streamline existing operations. He traveled throughout the world helping to launch distribution operations and also helping to generate better results with less cash outlay.

After being a road warrior for years, he settled down in his home state of Oklahoma and started a family. Andy has been a featured speaker at numerous supply chain conferences, and has provided insights and thought leadership for leading supply chain publications based on those hands-on experiences around the globe.
