ABOUT | 911 FLASH

HOW 911 FLASH WAS BROUGHT TO YOU TODAY,

BY A MAN WITH AN OPEN MIND.

The story of how it all started back in 1978 when he became a trucker by choice; there was a young boy disking a field and daydreaming about the day he gets old enough that he’s leaving this tractor and he’s going to drive a big truck. He had his mind set all the way back then that he was going to be a Trucker. He loved the family farming but he just knew the highway was where he would feel the most freedom.

The years go by and he’s all grown up and old enough to drive; so he decided it was time –so he took the chance to just go for it - to see if he could make his daydreams come true.

My dad has always been compassionate and thoughtful, and he knew his mom would worry herself sick about him being out on the road, but to ease her mind he promised her that he would be one of the most professional and safest Truckers to ever hit the highways. And that’s exactly what he did. He’s been trucking my entire life and now I worry sick about him, but it does ease my mind because I know grandma’s watching over him and we both know that he is one of the most professional and safest truckers to ever hit the highways.

And while I ride shotgun in the big truck cruising down the open road that’s the story My Dad told me about how he became a Trucker by Choice.

So, my story begins – I was taught by a man who I have always considered to be my second Dad. I lost my Dad, Thomas Lee Beswick, to a Trucking accident where he rolled it over going down a mountain in Kentucky with a load of cattle on. That memory has always stuck in my mind and to this day it helps me to be who I am.

My Mom and Dad, Tom and Jane Beswick

Another very important man in my life was named Gordon Bielema. He may have been my high school girlfriend's father, but he is also the man who has taught me so many things in life. Gordon is the man whom I considered to be my second Dad. He taught me firsthand how to be one of the safest most professional Truckers on the highway. He also taught me to open my mind up to anything and everything around me, to see what I feel is missing in the world that might do someone some good and to look for things that could help people benefit in different ways.

Gordon Bielema is a man who I will never forget and if you knew him you would have loved him, too.

Gordon is a man who could do anything when he set his mind to do it.

I’ve looked up to my Dad and Gordon as the two men who have made me who I am today, and let me tell ya they believed in freedom as much as I do, and I guess that’s why our business here is named Trucker by Choice. They always said to make wise choices and you will be happy with your life and to always do your job the best you can do and to do what you love.

The years keep rolling by and here I am how many more years ago, with two beautiful horses and a beautiful W900 that I bought brand new. It was the third truck I have bought since I have been Trucking and it is the only one I have ever ordered new.

This picture, to me, is what freedom stands for.

Here I am, this is me - a man who loves the freedom of the road and the freedom to make choices in life that I hope benefits me and my family.

Why did the name Trucker by Choice decide to venture out of the white lines and bring out the products we design for the Truckers and their families back home?

It’s all got to do with good old country common trucking sense!

And that's how 911FLASH was created.

We live and breathe a life to help people’s problems in any way we can. Growing up in the country we learned to have very high morals and standards and one of them is to always look out for one another - and that’s what we still stand by today. Our company is built on the same good ‘ol deep country morals and standards and we’re still just trying to look out for one another. This is why we’ve decided to make Trucker by Choice official and help give you and your family some peace of mind when and where we can. That’s why we focus on all things that can help, things that give you benefits, and in as many different ways as we can think up.

Our goals in life and the foundation of this company are built on the country's morals and standards and on the intention to save Truckers the hassles in life they don’t need. We built this company to offer products that will help make their life out on the road easier, and just as important if not the most important, try to make life out on the road safer. I’ve been out on the roads for the last 40 years and still keep a spotless record while working hard to make a living and trying to create products that can be life-changing for all of us Truckers by Choice and of course our loving families back home.
