Bill Brothers

IdleAire Technologies Corporation

Bill graduated from the University of Arkansas with a B.S.B.A. in Marketing in 1976 and received his commercial pilot, multi-engine, and instrument certification at Embry Riddle Aeronautical University in 1978.

Bill’s professional background has been largely in the transportation and distribution industry, ranging from management of a 250,000 square foot public warehousing operation to starting Helena Truck Lines, Inc. in Memphis, TN in 1984. Bill grew this company to an $8 million annual revenue with 75 tractors and 150 trailers. In 2000, Nationwide Express purchased Helena and Bill managed the transition of sales, recruiting, and maintenance into Nationwide’s new Southwest Division. Bill’s entrepreneurial spirit eventually brought him to IdleAire in 2003 where he was again challenged by a start up company.

Bill began at IdleAire in 2003 as the company started the deployment of the Advanced Travel Center Electrification system in West Memphis, AR. He moved to Dallas, TX in September of 2003 to manage that new location, the first in the TA system.

In January 2004, he was promoted to Area Manager, opening the three El Paso, TX sites while also overseeing West Memphis. Those duties changed over the next year and a half to include responsibilities for Southwest Texas as well as El Paso and West Memphis. His duties continue to change as IdleAire continues the network of installations. Bill is now District Manager for Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississippi with responsibilities for the development and operation of all new and existing sites in those states.

Bill is married to the former Suzanne Rowland and has three sons, John 22, Kingston 12 and Rowland 11.
