The Custom Red Fleet Taking Over the Heavy Haul Industry // A BulkLoads Feature

Step inside one of the most impressive trucking and construction operations in the Midwest.

In this episode, Jared Flinn visits Jamie Williams, second-generation owner of Williams Construction and J&L Contracting, to explore how a single dump truck turned into a 600+ piece fleet, moving superloads up to 155,000 pounds and building award-winning show trucks along the way.

We tour the shop, see how they customize their rigs, and get an exclusive look at their brand new $400,000 paint booth—designed to transform and refurbish high-end trucks in-house.

From hauling modular buildings and rock crushers to restoring classic Peterbilts, Jaimie shares his journey, challenges, and the key decisions that led to building a national reputation in the heavy haul world.
