BECO Delivers
Bruce Hoger has BECO Inc. dialed in to reliability, on-time performance and fuel economy. The eet is as dependable as the mail, which is what you expect from a company that delivered its rst load for the nation’s post o ce in 1951 and is now the fth-largest mail hauler in the U.S. It’s a market segment that remains in demand. “While we’ve seen a decline in rst class mail, there’s been a huge increase in demand for package deliveries,” says Hoger, BECO’s general manager. “Everybody shops online now, and it’s got to go on a truck.” BECO primarily covers the western U.S. with its headquarters in New Salem, North Dakota, and its main hub in Denver. It is a family-owned company, with Etheleen Hoovestol its president since her husband Burton passed away in January 2009. BECO DeliversOperatio
