“My parents always said, don’t work just for today, work hard for tomorrow and think long-term then you will always have a job and a good name,” Wes Blaser president of Magic Valley Truck Brokers, Inc., said in a news release. “So, when Allen Lund Company, Eddie, and David approached us this seemed like a perfect fit.”
