Kevin Westmoreland, President of Kevin R. Westmoreland Trucking in Cartersville, Georgia, joins Beyond the Bulldog to talk about building a family trucking business, growing a fleet, and staying 100% Mack.

Kevin shares how he started working in trucking at 16, bought his first truck at 20, and learned the business through driving, maintenance, dispatching, and long hours. He explains how the company grew from a single truck into a 25-truck operation serving residential, commercial, landscape, grading, and asphalt customers across North Georgia.

He also discusses training new drivers, caring for employees, controlling maintenance, building customer trust, choosing one truck brand, working with a Mack dealer, and preparing for the purchase of his 40th Mack truck.

Kevin discusses:

- How family, early hands-on experience, and dispatching shaped his approach to trucking and business

- How Kevin Westmoreland Trucking grew through hard work, loyal customers, employee development, and a commitment to doing what the company says it will do

- Why a 100% Mack fleet simplifies parts, maintenance, driver training, and fleet support, along with the importance of a strong dealer relationship

- How Kevin trains drivers who are new to the industry, maintains dump trucks for demanding work, and marks the milestone of purchasing his 40th Mack

This episode is a practical look at building a trucking business from the ground up while keeping family, people, customers, and equipment at the center of the operation. Kevin’s story shows how experience, consistency, and pride in the work can turn one truck into a lasting fleet.
