STI names Nicolson as CEO

STI names Nicolson as CEO    Specialized Transportation Inc. on Tuesday said it removed the interim tag from Ian Nicolson's title and named him president and chief executive officer.
   Nicolson spent the last eight months leading the Fort Wayne, Ind.-based trucking company on an interim basis following the death of Rob Shearer from cancer. He began working for the company as a consultant in 2008 and joined the board in early 2009.
