                       Monday, September 17, 2007

  Mr. ROSKAM. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Central 
States Trucking Company of Bensenville, Illinois, for being named one 
of the top 5,000 privately owned businesses in America by Inc. 
Magazine.
  The Inc. 5000 list highlights the fastest growing companies in the 
country.
  Madam Speaker, companies like this are the backbone of the U.S. 
economy and an integral part of my Congressional District.
  With a growth rate of 67%, Central States Trucking Company is a fine 
example of the hard work and productivity that sets American businesses 
apart in the global marketplace.
  Central States Trucking Company is a family-owned business that 
directly employs more than 300 individuals. Their economic activity 
indirectly supports the jobs of countless others. Under the visionary 
leadership of President Doug Grane, Central States Trucking is on track 
to grow revenues to nearly $42 million.
  Madam Speaker and Distinguished Colleagues, please join me in 
recognizing this outstanding achievement.
  I am proud to represent Central States Trucking Company in the United 
States House of Representatives and wish them all the best in the 
future.

                          ____________________
