Trucking Vital Link For Aiken
Aiken County functions as a trucking hub with many lines and independent haulers delivering items from gravel to clothing. Industry deregulation in 1961 intensified competition, making freight hard to secure, says Jones Standard Trucking manager Jimmy Fowler. Milner Trucking notes bulk petroleum haulers face tighter state regulation and contests from established firms to protect livelihoods. Aiken’s appeal lies in its industries, including the Savannah River Site, and its location between Columbia and coastal markets.
