My name is Mark Lehrer - owner, driver, dispatcher, and accountant at Rock Beacon LLC.  I have lived in Thief River Falls MN my entire life.  After spending over 20 years in corporate accounting, I gave up the office life for a life on the road.  I've been driving trucks since before I was old enough, working my way through high school, college and evenings and weekends over the years.  After the office, I spent some time as a company driver, did some teaching at a community college, and did some consulting.

Then I went on my own.......

Rock Beacon starts trucking in 2020

In the spring of 2020 I purchased this Volvo from my brother and signed on with Knife River Materials for the summer construction season of 2020 and have continued since.

Between road construction and logging seasons, I haul various freight nationwide.

Equipment Upgrade in 2021

The Volvo served me well, but a Peterbilt 389 is in another class when it comes to comfort on the highway. I purchased this truck in October 2021. Within weeks, I'd hauled to Vermont, Seattle, Texas, and many places in between.

2025 Update

Volvo Gone

In 2023, the trusty Volvo's engine gave up.  I decided to let it go and operate only the Peterbilt

In 2025, I purchased my own trailer for winter log hauling.  I enjoy being in the woods working with a fun crew.  As a bonus I'm close to ice fishing on Lake of the Woods.

It is good to have a truck capable to haul some of the ice fishing equipment to the lake in the fall.

Between construction and logging seasons, I haul mostly stepdeck freight.  My favorite route is to Alaska.
