Axtell Truss Inc. - 2828 Pony Express Highway
In 1995, the truss business was increasing so rapidly that John

Previously, the trusses had been built on the grounds of the Axtell
Lumber Company in the city. With their new building and new site,
they are now capable of turning out larger trusses at a faster pace
than ever before. When John and Linda sold the lumberyard in
February, 1998 to Tom and Donna Rottinghaus and Derek Heinen, this
gave Johnny more time to work with his Truss Company. The Truss
Company is now under the ownership of Mr. Brian Deters.
