Pro Pulling League's Chief Competition Officer John Mears shared, "Phil has been a pleasure to work with and we are excited for the future of the Western Series with Sancrest as title sponsor.

About Sancrest Specialized Transport:
Sancrest was founded in the 1940’s by Glenn Rauch, Phil’s grandfather, making it a third generation enterprise. The Sancrest Farms of then has expanded into more than farming today. Phil continues to incorporate the same family values of honesty, hard work and integrity into Sancrest Specialized Transport that his parents, Mike and Bobbi, instilled in him while growing up.
What started as a part time job for his uncle in 2003 steadily grew into Sancrest Specialized Transport. From dairy farming to the car transport business was a big career move. Phil was knowledgeable about the trucking industry for he had been moving show and sale cattle for his family and others. Starting with a Dodge dually and a 3 car wedge, Sancrest rapidly grew to a new Peterbilt with a 7 car trailer. Upgrading and adding equipment, Phil teamed with a trailer builder in 2007 and together they designed new trailers that would allow them to haul a larger variety of vehicles. With special decks and approaches, almost any vehicle can be loaded.
Sancrest has continued to stay a step ahead of the competition with the latest in equipment and customer service that is second to none. Hand picked owner/operators with decades of experience move across the country with service you won’t find in most companies. Though there are regular office hours, Phil or a company representative can be reached for emergencies 24/7, 365 days a year. More information on their transport services can be found at www.Sancrest.com
