After high school, Rusty spent two years in San Diego, Calif., where he was stationed in the U.S. Marine Corps. He then followed in his father’s footsteps and went into the transportation business. He began his career as a delivery driver for Lone Star and was experienced in all aspects of the transportation business including as a truck driver, owner and operator.
