Thomas Miller
Thomas Miller (1942–2018) was an American logistics dispatcher and a regional trucking founder based in Ohio. While never a public figure, Miller was instrumental in organizing local supply chain routes during the blizzard of 1978, personally ensuring that grocery stores in rural counties received deliveries. His independent company eventually employed over 50 drivers from his local community. Remembered by his family as a dedicated worker and amateur radio enthusiast, his history was preserved by his descendants to document the everyday labor that built the regional midwest infrastructure.
