In 1948, grading was on the rise in the south and when they recognized the potential in Atlanta, they moved down to Georgia. The Strack brothers wasted no time, co-signed on a D6 Dozer, and started Strack Grading Company. Their first jobs were subbed from Scott Hudgins, a major Atlanta developer, and Mullins Brothers Paving in East Point. Ten years later, competition continued to grow in the grading business, yet Strack Grading Company was only bringing in five dollars an hour with the D6 Dozer and an operator. That is when they decided to pursue projects in pipeline work, where there was less competition and much greater earning potential. Still working in partnership with Mullins Brothers Paving, Alfred began his work in pipeline by laying drainage through Little Five Points, now one of Atlanta’s hippest, most eclectic neighborhoods. When one of the inspectors on this project commented, “I’ve never seen a grading guy that can lay sewer,” it awakened Strack Grading Company to its potential and began pursuing steps to build a business that would integrate pipeline and grading work. FAMILY BUSINESS GOES INCORPORATED Strack and Son Come 1969, Alfred’s son, Joe, was old enough to work in the family business, and Strack Grading Company soon became Strack and Son Grading. Joe began working by shoveling dirt into ditches after pipe was laid, unloading clay pipe by hand, and joining pipes using jute and tar, all at the young age of ten. By the time he was fourteen years old, Joe was already an operator. He graduated from College Park High School in 1969 and continued his education at Southern Tech, studying Industrial Engineering and Management.

He made it onto the payroll a year later, around the same time Strack, Inc. added a Clearing Division in 1995. Jonathan continued as a laborer, pipelayer, and then operator throughout his college career at Southern Polytechnic State University. He ran a crew for a few years after he finished at SPSU in 2002 Four years later he was named Vice President and seven years after that, Jonathan Strack became the President of Strack, Inc.
