To nine children, he was "Dad." To many others, he was "Mr. Roadway."
Of course, they didn't understand what that meant when they were youngsters. All they knew was their dad, Otto Rado, drove a truck for a company called Roadway Express.
Otto Rado's children watched their dad go to work at Roadway. They saw the display of driving trophies in the living room grow, and gradually realized their dad worked for a company he truly loved.
By the time he retired in 1982, Otto had 51 years of service with Roadway. Two of his children grew up to work for Roadway, one for over 30 years.
Read more about Otto's remarkable 51-year span of dedicated service.
