Eventually, Danny was promoted to his current position, which is COO of the company. Darryl Christner joined the company later. "I had my degree in accounting and I wanted to go in another direction. When I was young and fresh out of college, Dallas was the cool place to be," says Darryl.

Each of the Christner's has worked hard to master their respective fields of expertise and they continue to strive for excellence in all that they do at John Christner Trucking.
