I grew up around the family’s ice manufacturing and distributing business. Of all the duties available to me, I enjoyed being a route salesman most. The business purchased a tractor-trailer in 1983 when I was 18 years old. After a year of driving, I decided that this was what I wanted to do. In 1984 I bought my first truck and a flatbed trailer and began a career in steel hauling.

By the late 80’s, the allure of the open road had lost its appeal and I was gravitating towards resuming my education. I made a last ditch effort in 1990 to stay in trucking by designing an all aluminum trailer with East Manufacturing that could haul 15% more than its steel predecessor. A cold call to US Steel with my new idea left me listening to a dial tone, twice. Fortunately, on the third call US Steel agreed to listen to my idea to move steel more efficiency. Six months later my budding company had a contract with US Steel. At that time I was 24 years old and owned 5 trucks.

I have driven over 1,300,000 miles in my trucking career. I kept my mind busy while on the road by thinking of ways to improve the efficiency and design of trucks/trailers as well as improving the fundamentals of the load dispatching process. Some ideas have yet to be implemented.

JBTC currently operates 75 trucks between its Michigan heavy haul and interstate divisions. It operates in the states of Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Iowa, Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee, New York, Pennsylvania and Ontario, Canada.

I am also an advocate for the industry. I sit on the Highway Policy Committee and vice-chair the Technology and Engineering Policy Committee of the American Trucking Associations. I am also on a panel sponsored by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration to identify safety based technology that could increase the safety of motorists driving with large trucks on our nation’s highways. I was recently appointed to the Board of Governors of the Michigan Trucking Association. Other industry alliances include; Americans for Safe and Efficient Transportation, Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance, Michigan Infrastructure and Transportation Association, Truck Pac and Fabricators and Manufacturers Association.

Charles (Shorty) Whittington has been in the transportation industry for over 30 years. Growing up in the heart of an agricultural community in Indiana, he naturally developed an agri-business career. The diversity of farming, grain elevator operations and the need he saw for specialized transportation, prompted Shorty to establish Grammer Industries in 1977. Grammer started as a small fertilizer and grain trucking company and has now grown to an industry leader in specialized hazardous material transport. Grammer provides safe, reliable transportation of; anhydrous ammonia, propane, nitric acid and compressed gases. Although trucking is Whittington’s passion his other business ventures involve real estate, renewable fuels and equipment sales.

Shorty is very active in the American Trucking Association (ATA) where he currently serves as Chairman. He also serves on boards for; the Indiana Motor Trucking Associations (IMTA), the Agricultural & Food Transporters Conference (AFTC), the National Tank Truck Carriers (NTTC) and is active in many state propane and fertilizer trade associations. He recently served on a Government Negotiated Rule Making involving a safety issue with tanker trailers, one of only five successful such missions of the Department of Transportation.

Shorty is a graduate of Purdue University. In 2007 Purdue named him Distinguished Agricultural Alumni. In 2008 he received the Indiana Agri-Vision Award from the State Department of Agriculture.

He and his wife Ro Anne reside just outside of Columbus near the small town of Grammer. They have two children Kristin and John.
