A passionate personality
Growing up on a North Texas farm, Glidewell knew he didn’t want a career as a rancher. When he was 10 years old, he started riding in a semitruck with a family friend who hauled aggregate for concrete, including crushed rock and sand.
“He asked me one day what I wanted to do when I grew up and I told him I was going to buy him out. He just laughed but about 10 years later I bought his last truck,” Glidewell said.
He started in the trucking business in 1975 when he was 21 years old with one semitruck. Today he is owner and president of Sunset Logistics, a Fort Worth-based transportation solutions company he founded in 1988. The company hauls crushed rock, sand and cement powder – all used to make concrete – in a variety of trucks. The Sunset Logistics fleet tops 500 including 300 company-owned and another 200 owner-operators and ranges from tractor trailer end
