Page Trucking Enterprises is investing more than half a million dollars into a terminal in central Kentucky, citing the state’s strong workforce of “people who know how to do things.”
The company plans to invest over $500,000 into a 10-acre site in Morgantown, Kentucky, aiming to expand its regional operations and create additional jobs in the community.
“In Kentucky we’ve found there’s a lot of blue-collar skill and people who know how to do things,” said Piper Titus, chief financial officer of Page Trucking Enterprises. “That’s really important for our business.”
The renovation will add more truck maintenance bays, improve workspace for technicians, and enhance amenities for drivers.
“There’s a lot of manufacturing in that area, especially metal production and recycling businesses,” Titus told WNKY40. “Continuing to grow our business in Kentucky has a lot of potential because of the customer base we already have there.”
“We transport other people’s commodities. We don’t do things like food or consumer goods. We move a lot of industrial materials like scrap metal, ingots, coils, finished metal products and waste byproducts from manufacturing… It’s a really highly concentrated area for us of customers, trucks, trailers, drivers and repair services,” he added.
The company also expects the expanded facility to support recruiting and training the next generation of truck drivers in a region known for its skilled workforce.
“Being able to train the next generation of employees is paramount to our success and sustainability moving forward,” Titus said. “Our goal is to get people into the industry and expose them to it… Trucking is an incredible career, and we hope people start to see it that way.”
