After spending many years establishing his family built crane company with his brother, John had no idea that this trip would give birth to the rise of JLG Industries, Inc. The world leader of mobile aerial work platforms and precision materials handling technologies was the end consequence of a road trip.

All through their trip, John reacquainted himself with past business connections along the way.

John discovered a substantial marketplace for a product that could promptly and safely lift people in the air to accomplish maintenance and other building functions.
