\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Peter Latta has few good ideas about common sense policy making and the impact they might have on business, community, and jobs.<\/p>\n Latta, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of A. Duie Pyle, an $800 million West Chester, Pa.-based trucking company, discussed his commonsense vision and responsible corporate citizenship in a new video hosted by Pat Soldano, President of Family Enterprise USA and Policy and Taxation Group, both bi-partisan organizations advocating for family business.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=”#ff0000″ divider_style=”dotted” divider_weight=”1px” disabled_on=”off|off|off” _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||10px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_video src=”https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=OEMf4tN4l5I” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_video][et_pb_divider color=”#ff0000″ divider_style=”dotted” divider_weight=”1px” disabled_on=”off|off|off” _builder_version=”4.20.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n In the 20-minute family business video, Latta discussed how many government policies, though initially well-intentioned, \u201chave outlived their usefulness.\u201d<\/p>\n In the video, Latta cites several examples, including a World War 1 era excise tax, Spotted Lantern Fly training compliance, unwarranted liability insurance claims, unrealistic electric truck goals, and making holidays easier for families to enjoy.<\/p>\n \u201cThere are many commonsense changes our government can make, but they don\u2019t even think about them,\u201d Latta says in the video. \u201cThese are simple fixes that can make life better and business more efficient for everyone,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n A Duie Pyle was founded in 1924 in West Chester, Pa., when Latta\u2019s grandfather bought two trucks and became the only driver. Today, the company is one of the Northeast leaders in integrated supply chain solutions offering Less Than-Truckload (LTL) service and extended coverage through established partnerships in 14 states and Canada. The company has been a family-owned business<\/a> since its founding and is transitioning to its fourth generation. The company is supported by 27 LTL service centers and 18 warehouse facilities comprised of over 4.4 million square feet of space.<\/p>\n The company has grown substantially in the last three decades, from revenues of $10 million in 1995 to its current revenue of over $800 million.<\/p>\n Duie Pyle has 4,000 employees and 100 of them are multi-generational employees<\/a> themselves, generational employees being a common trend among 72 percent of muti-generational family businesses<\/a>, according to recent research by Family Enterprise USA.<\/p>\n \u201cA. Duie Pyle is a great example of a multi-generational family business that has grown and prospered by hard work and focusing its business on core values,\u201d said Pat Soldano. \u201cThese videos are designed to tell the stories of America\u2019s biggest employer, the family business,\u201d she said.\u00a0 \u201cMany government policies start off as positives, but, as Peter points out, over time they end up hurting family businesses.\u201d<\/p>\n If you have a family business and a story to tell about your success and\/or challenges click here to submit them to us.<\/a><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=”#397389″ divider_weight=”2px” disabled_on=”off|off|off” _builder_version=”4.19.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text disabled_on=”off|off|off” admin_label=”Become a member text” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” link_option_url=”https:\/\/familyenterpriseusa.com\/donate-2\/” global_module=”5822″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n As we prepare for what promises to be a pivotal year for America, we’re asking you to consider becoming a member.<\/p>\n The need for fact-based reporting of issues important to multi generational businesses<\/a> and protecting a lifetime of savings<\/a> has never been greater.
