The ALC Story
With $1,000 in his pocket, Allen Lund made the brave decision to start his own transportation brokerage company. It was 1976, when Allen Lund Company formally opened the first office in Los Angeles, adjacent to the produce market. Allen and his wife, Kathie began what Allen referred to as “living the American dream.” As years went on the company continued to grow, opening offices across the country, and in 2017, ALC became a 500M company: one of Allen’s dreams.
Under Allen’s guidance his sons, David, Kenny, and Eddie became more involved in the day-to-day operations, all promoted to vice presidents along the way. Each son has worked the brokerage desk and truly understands the business, inside and out. Additionally, son-in-law Steve Doerfler has risen through the ranks from broker to the company CFO.
In 2018, Allen succumbed to a very fast moving cancer. His family of 6 children, 22 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren along with over 470 employees felt this loss, but are more determined than ever to honor Allen by continuing the hard work and legacy he established. Mr. Lund left the company both financially and organizationally strong, with an executive team poised to continue his work. The transition has already started with Eddie Lund’s promotion to president of ALC and the company is on a clear road to continue growing.
