Don L. Ipson bought his first truck in 1980. It was an 18-wheel semi.In 1988, Don hired Stan Snow as a dispatcher for one of his businesses. But soon the two decided to start a
new business, DATS Trucking, Inc. It had only one leased truck.
When Milne Trucking closed, DATS Trucking hired 40 of Milne's experienced people and DATS continued
growing from there.
