\t The Beginning: 1886<\/div>
Working in transportation for 5 generations, it\u2019s fair to say of the Zembrodt family that \u201ctrucking is in their blood.\u201d<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
<\/div>
1886 Continued<\/div>
In 1886, John Charles Zembrodt began the family\u2019s excursion into the transportation industry as Zembrodt Express. Using horse drawn carriages, they hauled beer and household goods between Northern Kentucky and Cincinnati.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
<\/div>
Early 1900's<\/div>
With the invention of the Semi Truck in the late 1890\u2019s, the trucking industry grew rapidly. Quick to adapt, the Zembrodts began to transition from horse drawn carriages to trucks.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
<\/div>
1930's<\/div>
In the 1930\u2019s the eldest Zembrodt son, Joseph, along with his wife Etta, took over the family business. \u00a0\u00a0Tragically, Joseph died just a few years later, leaving Etta to raise their 3 children and run the business.\n\nEtta, known for being \u201ctough as nails,\u201d proved to be more than capable of successfully running Zembrodt Express for many years. Her sons, William, Robert, and Cyril (Cy) were raised in the business. Cy, who later founded\u00a0AC Trucking, went to work for Zembrodt Express\u00a0full time upon\u00a0completing his 8th grade education.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
<\/div>
1940's and 1970's<\/div>
One of Cy Zembrodt's more notable qualities was his strong sense of independence. \u00a0Following his time working in the family business, Cy went on to work for a local beer distributor. \u00a0He worked his way up through the ranks into a position in leadership. \u00a0As Cy refined his skill and knowledge he went on to manage and run a few local trucking companies. \u00a0However, Cy wanted more. \u00a0He wanted to run his own trucking company, one that reflected his tireless work ethic and dedication to his customers. \u00a0In the late 1970's Cy bought a large piece of property with 13 warehouses on it. \u00a0With that,\u00a0AC Leasing Company was formed.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
<\/div>
1980's and 1990's<\/div>
Cy continued his family's tradition by involving his sons (Joe, Jerry, and John) in the family business. \u00a0Each of them started off doing menial jobs within the company. \u00a0Later, when they\u00a0were old enough, they loaded and drove trucks. \u00a0As time went on, each of them earned their place within leadership at AC. \u00a0Joe specialized in managing logistics, John oversaw facilities, financials, and maintenance, and Jerry managed\u00a0sales and customer relationships. As a family, they would often sit around the dinner table and talk business until late in the evening; they lived and breathed trucking.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
<\/div>
AC Trucking in the New Millenium<\/div>
Cy remained active in the business until the time of his passing, in 2011. \u00a0Since then, Joe Zembrodt has served\u00a0as president of AC Trucking.\n\nTogether with the rest of the AC team, continues the family mission of dedication to hard work and exceptional customer service. \u00a0They\u00a0are committed to professional, on-time service. As in the past, they accomplish this through their\u00a0team of\u00a0top-notch\u00a0drivers and knowledgeable, experienced staff. Many of AC's employees\u00a0have worked in the industry their entire professional lives.\u00a0Moreover, they strive to ensure that AC remains current with the ever-changing logistics industry. \u00a0As examples, with the implementation of a cutting-edge crm system, GPS tracking, and ELD compliance, and long-standing use of EDI, they\u00a0ready to\u00a0accomplish any task\u00a0their customers require.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
