Last week at the 2026 TMHA Conference in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, The Machinery Haulers Association named Amhof Trucking, Inc. of Eldridge, IA the “Best of Class” Fleet Safety Award winner. 🏆 TMHA competition is always tough because its members are among the safest carriers on the road. They recognized Amhof for our exemplary safety programs and our history of excellent safety performance.

With National Truck Driver Appreciation Week right around the corner, the timing is perfect. This award belongs to our drivers. Every day they haul specialized machinery and open-deck freight through tough weather, complex securement, and demanding routes — and they do it the safe way, every single mile.

To our drivers: thank you for your skill, professionalism, and for looking out for each other and the motoring public. You are the backbone of this company and the reason we are recognized as the best of the best.

Thank you to the Machinery Haulers Association and its members for this honor. We are proud to stand alongside an elite group of carriers who dedicate themselves to raising the bar for safety and excellence in the heavy hauling industry.

It has been a tough week here at Amhof. We have lost two of our icons. On August 22, 2026, long-time driver Bill Wailand passed away.

A young Bill Wailand started with Amhof at the age of 44 years old, but he was no rookie—he had already begun his driving career with over a million miles travelled. Bill ran all 48 states and Canada, but here at Amhof he was most famous for running the Northwest Corridor, logging over half a million miles hauling oversized freight. In total, Bill drove over 3 million miles at Amhof alone. When Bill retired in 2024, he had achieved 30 years of Safe Driving Awards.

Four years ago, we had him involved in a “mock trial” at one of our safety meetings. He was cross-examined by our attorney in an effort to prepare less experienced drivers on how to react in the event of an accident, and to prepare them for the type of questions they would be asked when they took the stand.

Our attorney battered him with questions, and Bill responded with the voice of experience. Sticking to his trademark phrase when answering each question, he would start with, “The reality is…” and give an answer that stuck straight to the facts of the accident scene.

Two days prior to Bill’s death, I was talking to our attorney about returning to Amhof to be a guest speaker at an upcoming safety meeting. He remembered Bill, asked how he was, and if he was still driving, he remarked “Bill was the essence of a good driver”.

Bill’s legacy will live on at Amhof, and the skills he shared with our drivers will live on as well.

To our extended Amhof family, Graveside services will be 2:30 PM on Thursday, September, 3, 2026 at Oakdale Memorial Gardens Cemetery, Davenport, IA.

It is with deep sorrow that we share the news of the passing of our beloved matriarch, Bonnie Amhof, who left us on August 24, 2026.

I knew Bonnie for 35 years, working shoulder to shoulder with her before her retirement. I know firsthand her love for her drivers, office staff, diesel techs, and warehouse family—and we loved her right back.

Bonnie lived a life of dedicated service, whether she was giving her time to the City of Eldridge, the Park View Lutheran Church, or here at Amhof. She truly loved her family, friends, coworkers/employees, and drivers. We loved her deeply in return and will miss her deeply.

Bonnie was the consummate teacher, always learning, sharing her wisdom, and evolving with the times. Her strong faith carried us through many difficult times. I treasure the many wonderful memories of working for her and our business trips together. I think we all secretly felt like Bonnie was going to be with us forever, but sadly, we now know that is not the case.

To our extended Amhof family, funeral services will take place at Park View Lutheran Church at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, August 29, 2026. (Visitation will begin prior at 9:30 a.m.)

View Bonnie Marie Amhof's obituary, send flowers and sign the guestbook.

We are happy to announce that Evan Edens, one of our valued drivers and a proud Veteran, has won this week’s THANK-A-TRUCKER Drawing. Evan is a first-time winner in the THANK-A-TRUCKER and has won a $100 VISA Card and a $50 gift card to Texas Roadhouse.

Evan started working for Amhof in June of 2022 in our warehouse while attending Eastern Iowa Community College (EICC) to get his Class A CDL. After graduating from EICC and transitioning from his warehouse position, Evan became part of our local crew.

Evan is actively involved in loading trailers and securing loads from local shippers and bringing them to our terminal for the over-the-road drivers to deliver to all 48 states. He is skilled in all aspects of driving semi, including securement, hours of service, and on-time delivery. We are so proud of the work he does here at Amhof.

As we enjoy this long Memorial Day weekend, our family at Amhof Trucking would like to take a moment to honor the fallen — the soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines — who gave everything so we can live, work, and drive these great American roads in freedom. We also want to thank our drivers and the many truckers still out on the road keeping freight moving this holiday. Wishing everyone a safe holiday weekend with your family and friends.
