“SEFL’s commitment to join the TCF Founders Club exemplifies the character and heart of this amazing faith-based organization,” said TCF Chairman Phil Byrd, president and CEO of Bulldog Hiway Express. “Bill and Tobin Cassels are generous leaders who have made immeasurable contributions to the trucking industry. On behalf of ATA and TCF, I would like to personally thank them for becoming TCF Founders Club members.”
“For so many years, Bill and Tobin have given back in countless ways to improve the lives of individuals and families to strengthen their community,” said Rick Todd, president & CEO of the South Carolina Trucking Association and board member of TCF. “Joining the TCF Founders Club is a natural extension of their deep faith, extraordinary generosity, and commitment to the trucking industry.”
