WJW is proud to announce that it has entered the North Carolina market by way of an asset purchase of Grady W. Shives Trucking, Inc, on 1 April 2017. Shives is located in Statesville, NC, approximately 45 minutes north of Charlotte on I77.
Shives has been predominately a van carrier in the area, but also servicing machinery manufacturers with double drops, roll-tite flats and steps and open flats. The customer focused culture and strong personnel seemed a perfect fit for the WJW culture. John Woeppel, Vice-President of Operations, stated, “We feel that the North Carolina location is a great opportunity to realize synergies between our current customer base in the NY and Florida Markets. Many of our customers have operations within 50 miles the Statesville terminal. We look forward to continuing to find ways to improve service to these customers.”
