Before founding Trucking Tower, Andy Hedrick worked for technology and consulting companies to sell and implement hundreds of projects with companies spanning 9 different countries.

That hands-on implementation 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. 

Andy was the 3rd employee of Appian Logistics Software which would later become a part of Trimble, a publicly-traded company. He served as Director of Business Development through great year-over-year growth and their acquisition by TMW Systems. 

His first marketing assignment at the company in 1993 was to provide design feedback for a direct mail marketing campaign based on various concepts. He then got to experience the incoming calls from the interested companies and to discuss solutions with them. 

Right out of college, he traveled throughout Asia, Europe and North America delivering projects for international companies. He was always working to deliver great improvements and to sell the next big improvement idea based on current project results. 

After being an international road warrior for 5 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 trucking and supply chain publications based on those hands-on implementation experiences around the globe.
