Hansen & Adkins Vice President of Operations Barry Williams began work in the automotive haul-away industry in 1984. He started as a quality claims supervisor and filled various positions in the company as he advanced, including director of safety and risk management, ISO 9000 manager, and driver trainer. In his current role, he grew the company from 33 trucks to its current 1,340 trucks. Williams also co-founded and leads the Auto Haulers Association of America in 2011 with Bill Fralic, which works to achieve higher pay for auto haul truck drivers to better attract the workforce to the industry.
