Bennett Motor Express Driver John W. Jackson Hits 50 Years Service Mark
McDonough, GA, Nov. 15, 2010
Owner/operator John W. Jackson, Sr. recently marked 50 years of service with specialized freight carrier Bennett Motor Express (BME). In 1960, the Forsyth, Georgia resident joined George Bennett Truckline, a small five-truck regional carrier based in South Georgia.
“I joined Bennett because I wanted to see the world,” said Jackson. “I never thought I’d see Bennett grow like it has. I’m just blessed that the Lord has kept me going, and I’ll keep going as long as I’m able to go.”
In 1974, the late J.D. Garrison and Marcia G. Taylor acquired the company and later changed its name to Bennett Motor Express. Today, the privately held family company operates a fleet of 615 tractors and 1178 trailers, through five divisions.
