History of JA Baldwin:

1936-1980

J.A. Baldwin was one of the first to recognize the importance of improving mobile filtration. He designed a cartridge lube filter and began production in Wisconsin in 1936.

By 1952, Baldwin needed to expand in order for J.A. Baldwin Manufacturing Company to compete for the big orders, but was unable to do so in Wisconsin.

At this time, Kearney, Nebraska, had an idle airfield with hangars that had been used in World War II as a base for the big B-29 planes taking off for Europe.

The company moved to Kearney in 1953 to take advantage of the central location and the available transportation. Once in Kearney, Baldwin Filters began operation in a 24,000 square foot building with nine employees.

By the end of the year, Baldwin employed 26 people and occupied three buildings.

In 1963, Baldwin purchased 42 acres of the former Kearney Air Base and began construction. Shortly after moving part of the operation into the new building, a fire destroyed the original plant and the company offices.

Also lost in the fire were the blueprints of all the filters and the machines designed to produce them. Within six months, J.A. reconstructed the needed blueprints and returned the company to full production.

Between 1964 and 1981, the Baldwin Filter plant was expanded nine times to accommodate the rapid expansion.


1981-Present

In early 1981, J.A. Baldwin suffered a stroke and heart attack, from which he recovered enough to return to run the company. However, at the end of July, Baldwin announced the filter company had been purchased by J.L. Clark Manufacturing Co. (now CLARCOR).

In 1989, Baldwin Filters expanded to include Baldwin Filters LTD in the United Kingdom and Baldwin Filters NV in Europe.

In 1991, Baldwin Filters expanded again. This time with a plant in Gothenburg, Nebraska. At this time, Baldwin Filters Australia was brought into the company.

The following year at the Kearney plant, a multi-million dollar technical center was added for research, development, training and testing.

In 1994, Baldwin added a manufacturing and distribution center in Mexico, followed by a manufacturing facility in Weifang, China in 1995.

Also in 1995, Baldwin Filters purchased Hastings Premium Filters, which included the addition of a third U.S. manufacturing site, in Yankton, South Dakota. In 1996, Baldwin Filters South Africa was established.

A state-of-the-art automated distribution center was added to the Kearney plant in 1999. The Warehouse Management System utilizes bar coded picking labels and radio frequency scanners to move all product throughout the 110,000 square foot facility.

In 2007, a manufacturing facility was purchased in Casablanca, Morocco, and became Baldwin Filters Morocco.

CDL Truck Driver Jobs - Make Your Living on the Road

The idea of pursuing CDL truck driver jobs is appealing to a lot of people, especially during rough patches in their lives, but not everyone is cut out for the open road lifestyle. Before jumping the gun and signing up for trucking companies CDL training courses you should put some serious consideration into whether or not you're really the trucking type. Here are a few thoughts to consider before looking into CDL truck driver jobs.

The first thing to decide is whether or not you are really ready to spend large chunks of time on the road without your friends and family. Committing to class CDL driver jobs means that you'll be spending a lot of time away from home and sleeping in hotels or your truck's cab. If you are a true loner, then this might not sound too terrible to you, however if you are in a relationship or are a socialite you may not be ready for life on the road. If you aren't sure whether you can handle the road life, try to arrange a ride along with professional trucker just to test the waters. While it won't be a perfect simulation of the solo life, it will give you an idea of what it's like.

Another thing to think about is the cost associated with CDL training and classes. Most truck driving schools cost several thousand dollars to attend and then require you to work for a certain company for up to a year after graduation while you gather the experience needed to find jobs elsewhere. While you may be tempted to drop the money as soon as the thought enters your head and register for classes for CDL truck driver jobs, it's important to be cautious. You should also keep in mind that most starting jobs pay very low wages as well.

If you are positive that you want to pursue trucking as a career you should be sure to research a variety of schools in your area to find out which is the most affordable, which has the best results and what companies hire their graduates as well as how much those companies pay them. Most CDL truck driver jobs are not available to fresh graduates since insurance companies require a certain amount of experience to be obtained first. To get around this, many schools are owned by large companies who also own their insurance agencies which allows them to make special adjustments to the rules.

Deciding to enter the world of trucking is a big decision that will change your life and your lifestyle for as long as you're involved with it. Remember to take some time and consider all the factors so that you will be sure that you are ready for CDL truck driver jobs before taking the plunge.
