“I can remember my first day at Ledwell. Mr. Ledwell came to my shop and called me over to him and said ‘Boy you haven’t worked hard today, you aren’t even sweating!’ I loved that man, he was very funny.” Starting at Ledwell when he was 18 years old, Tim has grown up at Ledwell and loves the support and family he has gained working for such a great company.

Tim and his wife of 14 years, Angie, have a daughter Morgan, 13 and a son Talan, 8. They enjoy going camping, fishing and taking weekend trips as a family. “I will always be a kid at heart, so I just love doing things like dressing up for Halloween with my kids,
coaching t-ball, playing video games, and basically anything my kids want to do.”

January 1986 started a new year and a career for Steve Carter. When he started at Ledwell 31 years ago, Steve ran parts to the different shops and parts counter. Currently he is over Shipping and Receiving in the Parts Warehouse. Steve receives anything from a small bolt to a large vacuum pump that comes into the plant. He also ships everything, besides trucks and trailers, all over the United States and overseas. Steve says, “My favorite part of my job, it’s always changing. Shipping always has new forms or rules. When I started every order was handwritten, and now it is all electronic. A lot of things have changed over the years, in shipping and receiving, except one thing, I still enjoy my job.”
