History
Walter Mills introduced driver leasing in 1959 when he founded Driver Service, Inc., the first company of its kind at the time. A graduate of Case Western University with degrees in both engineering and law, Walt began his career in transportation in the early 1950’s. By the late 1950’s he was a regional VP for Ryder Truck Lines, opening up the West Coast for Jim Ryder’s fledgling company. Still later, he founded such companies as Pacific Intermountain Express (P.I.E. Leasing) and National Truck Leasing.
By 1983, the need for and success of long-term contract leasing of drivers and other logistics personnel encouraged a more aggressive business plan that became known as Pro Source, Inc. Today, the company is nationwide, providing not only drivers, but also logistics professionals and logistics consulting services. Walt is nationally recognized for his innovative contributions toward the development of transportation services in the United States.
