He lived in Chillicothe, IL until 1932, when he moved with his family to Topeka, KS. In 1938, he graduated from Topeka High School and then entered Washburn University, majoring in journalism. While a student at Washburn, he held a full-time position as a reporter and editor of The Topeka Daily Capital.

Mr. Halladay’s long and distinguished career in the trucking industry began in 1952 with his appointment as the Managing Director of the Kansas Motor Carriers Association. During his tenure, the Kansas organization became one of the largest and most active within the national organization, The American Trucking Associations (“ATA”).
