Paul became involved in the trucking industry in 1981. As North American president of Eberspaecher, Paul enjoyed early success in the industry on the supplier side for several years and continued by forming his own marketing communications and consulting company. It was through this venture that he began penning copy for various trucking industry publications, eventually writing under his own byline. His writing first appeared in Trucks Magazine in 1986, and he became an editorial staple in the trucking communications industry. In addition to his work as senior technical writer for OOIDA’s Land Line Magazine, in the early days he was also senior technical editor for Road King Magazine, published by TravelCenters of America.
His talent and knowledge have been recognized by a variety of awards from the American Society of Business Press Editors, the International Automotive Media Association, Communication Concepts and Truck Writers of North America. In 1995, he received the Silver Spark Plug distinction from the Technology & Maintenance Council. In 2006, TWNA presented its prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award to Paul at the group’s annual awards banquet at the Mid-America Trucking Show in Louisville, Ky.
