About us:

Wooster Motor Ways, Inc.(WMW) was established in 1964 by a group of business leaders as an intrastate transportation company providing specialized cartage services for local businesses in Wooster, Ohio and the surrounding area. In 1970, the company obtained an interstate Motor Carrier Authority and expanded into regional truckload transportation to complement its local delivery service. After more than 10 years of success, the company was purchased by Mr. Ken Beaverson in 1975. In the following years, Mr. Beaverson developed WMW to be a full service logistics company offering complete supply chain services including warehousing, cross-dock facilities, local LTL and diesel engine and trailer repair and maintenance.
