25 years strong: Skippy's Trucking Inc. and J&J Dump Bodies & Trailers

"We've been working with J&J since 1977, 1978 at the latest. Since 1980 we have tried the products of two or three of J&J's competitors, today we are 100% J&J." said Skippy's Trucking Inc. CEO Skip Albright.

Skippy's Trucking Inc. is a diverse Manassas, VA based trucking company servicing the large Metropolitan area around Washington DC. In this metropolitan area, construction is big business. Meeting the needs of the area's construction industry means there is much demand for the hauling of heavy construction materials. Skippy's hauls extensive tonnage of aggregate - gravel, asphalt and sand - for road and foundation construction.

Over the years, Skippy's has relied on the durability and quality of many of J&J's products to haul these heavy construction materials. Albright states, "I could pay less for a 'lesser' dump body or trailer, but it simply wouldn't last. Many times with other dump bodies and trailers, you can expect downtime in the winter - making repairs, so that the trucks will be ready the following year - we're too busy for that. When we buy a truck we expect it to give us five years of hassle-free operation, and with J&J's products, that's what we get - dependability and durability. To top it all off, with J&J's dump bodies or trailers on our trucks, our resale value is outstanding."

Although Skippy's Trucking Inc. is primarily in the business of hauling construction materials, they do offer diverse trucking solutions, from the hauling of trash to the removal of snow and ice in winter. At present, Skippy's is working with J&J on the production of a new fleet of snow plows for the coming winter. These trucks will replace a fleet that has provided dependable service to Skippy's Trucking Inc. for the last six winters.

Finally, Albright attest to the fact that a good truck can help you retain good drivers. He accredits (in part) J&J's superior products in helping Skippy's Trucking Inc. retain their talented group of drivers.

The relationship between Skippy's Trucking Inc. and J&J is 25 years strong - for good reason - Skippy's demands great dump bodies and trailers, and year after year, J&J has continued to meet and exceed their expectations.
