Remembering parents who developed RTC 2022-10-19 - Columbia, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. Rogers Trucking Company sponsored the costs of getting a copy of the children's book, "Police Officers, Our Friends!", into the hands of every ACPC student - all 675 of them! Lesha Breeding, one of the family owners of RTC, gives credit to parents and company founders, Tommy and Phyllis Rogers. She keeps them close to her heart with her Dad's picture on her wrist and her Mom's ring on the other hand. She was remembering their hard work and sacrifices as they developed the company over the years she and her siblings - Chuck, Teena, and Carla - were growing up in Adair County. She said they are all so proud that Rogers Trucking Company has lasted and grown strong enough over the years to allow the family to contribute to the community.
