They have expertise in carrying over-sized loads, both long and wide.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s1\"><span class=\"s2\"><!--more--><\/span><\/span>\u201cIn more than 30 years of building businesses, my experience has been that people prefer to work with people they know, like and trust,\u201d said Miller, who purchased an Americlean residential pressure washing franchise in 1986 and grew the business into Performance Industrial, a commercial and industrial cleaning, painting and flooring system contractor, which he sold to his daughter-in-law, Karen, and son, Bill, just months before starting Magnet.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMagnet has something that no other company has. It has me and Drew, and when we say we\u2019re going to do something, we do it. Our motto is, \u2018Exactly as promised, the first time, on time, every time. Period.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Miller has had a love of long-haul trucking and a commercial driver\u2019s license since shortly after graduating from high school when he hit the road for the first time. He put long-hauling in his rearview mirror in 1986 and purchased the Americlean franchise in order to spend more time at home with his young son, but the itch to get back on the road resurfaced in his later years at the helm of Performance Industrial.<\/p>\n<p>He began driving on a part-time basis for a friend who owns a trucking company, including a series of three trips that brought him to all 48 continental states.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI realized I didn\u2019t want to just drive a truck, I wanted to start and grow another company,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>When Miller told his stepson his idea, Trombley quickly expressed interest in partnering with him. Trombley had been driving professionally for several years and was enthused by the idea of building a business.<\/p>\n<p>For more information about Magnet Transport Group, call (518) 769-0205 or email &#105;&#x6e;f&#111;&#x40;m&#97;&#x67;n&#101;&#x74;t&#114;&#x61;n&#115;&#x70;o&#114;&#x74;g&#114;&#x6f;u&#112;&#x2e;c&#111;&#x6d;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As an entrepreneur and part-time truck driver, Mark Miller observed a trucking industry trend that he saw creating an unnecessarily heavy workload for Capital Region businesses.
