Pictured above, Rickey Witt and his son Dustin, (shown with wife Danya) have been operating the J&J Trucking company in Haleyville. The Witts recently entered into an agreement with Cargo Solution Express, (CSE) of Fontana, CA to operate a truck terminal located on a 17-acre site in Delmer. The papers had already been signed a week before when Bobby Kang, CEO of CSE, (5th from left) along with other members of his company flew into the Haleyville airport on Thursday, January 16 to visit with the Witts and see where the terminal will be located. The Witt Advisement Group will operate the facility which has a 90 X 100-foot 3-bay building on the site which will hold up to three full-sized 18-wheelers with trailers and be able to shut the doors. The company will be performing maintenance and dispatching 18 trucks the company currently has, increasing to 30 trucks with an additional 20 trucks from Cargo Solution Express, a total of 50 within a month. The plan is to ramp up to 75 trucks by 2021 and 150 trucks by 2022.

Dustin said he started in the trucking business with $15,000 from his tax return and 1-ton truck. Company offices are located next to the garage facility in Delmar.

Cargo Solution Express has a fleet of 750+ tractors and 1,600+ trailers with a network of terminals throughout the country. You can learn more about the company at cargosolutionexpress.com.
