Ed Hennings's story is one of accountability, faith, and redemption. After spending 20 years in prison he was able to turn his life around and reinvent himself by building a successful last-mile trucking business. Ed found his niche in the “white glove” furniture delivery space and has not looked back since. Through his testimony, Ed is now determined to empower others from his community to start trucking businesses of their own.

God took people from prison before in use them as tools, many people from the Bible that was lock up that end up impacting the world.
