M&D Transportation’s Journey to Efficiency and Growth

Starting a small business is no small feat, and Michael Piech, the owner of M&D Transportation LLC, a trucking and freight services company, is well-acquainted with the challenges and triumphs of entrepreneurship. His 7,000-square-foot facility, operational for just over a year, continually seeks ways to optimize efficiency and reduce costs, as is common among new businesses. A significant change made was the switch from propane to natural gas, driven by the potential for substantial cost savings.

However, the transition was not without its hurdles. During the main extension process, a significant challenge arose: the public utility easement did not provide enough space for Nicor Gas to install the necessary main to service the facility. It was a stressful moment, but thanks to the collaboration and resourcefulness of the Nicor Gas team, a solution was found. An easement was provided that allowed the installation to proceed, ensuring the business could enjoy the benefits of natural gas.

A pivotal moment in this journey was when Michael walked the site with Nicor Gas, an experience that proved enlightening. Nicor Gas not only guided him through the current installation process but also provided invaluable insights into adding future loads as the business grows. “Walking the site with Nicor Gas was a game-changer; their expertise not only solved our immediate needs but also gave us a clear path for future growth,” said Michael. Nicor Gas’ expertise and support have been instrumental in helping M&D Transportation LLC plan for the future with confidence.

This experience has reinforced Michael’s belief in the power of collaboration and the importance of surrounding oneself with knowledgeable partners like Nicor Gas. Thanks to Nicor Gas and their dedicated team, M&D Transportation LLC is better positioned for growth and success.
