The American Truck Historical Society recently elected David Schnautz of LaPorte, Texas as its president for a two-year term.
According to a statement from ATHS, Schnautz's passion for trucking began at a young age, influenced by his family's deep roots in the industry. His journey in the trucking world started in 1986 when he became an owner/operator. His first truck was a 1980 R model Mack, marking the beginning of a successful career that would eventually lead to co-owning a company. In 1989, Schnautz and his brother Danny joined Clark Freight Lines Inc. in Pasadena, Texas.They purchased the company from the retiring owner in 2021.Today the company has a fleet of over 155 trucks and numerous trailers. David Schnautz is currently the Vice President of Clark Freight Lines Inc.
Schnautz joined the ATHS in 1991. He served as chapter president. and Texas/Oklahoma regional vice president, and eventually to a position on the executive board. He has served on the executive board for over four years..
“It (ATHS) is dear to me because of the history of the industry. My grandpa, dad, and three uncles were all involved in the industry and drove trucks.I was introduced to a noisy truck when I was just a baby. My roots run deep in trucking and trucks,” he said.
As ATHS President, David says that his primary goals include delivering the best service possible to ATHS members and reducing negativity within the society. He believes that business can be conducted with a sense of enjoyment and aims to promote the society's mission and passion to a broader audience.
