ABOUT    

Jerry A. and Bonnie P. Hatchett started Hatchett & Hatchett Trucking Co., Inc.  in March of 1982 with a cousin, Bobby Hatchett and his wife, Linda.  They ran the business out of a back room in Jerry and Bonnie’s home. 

Jerry and Bonnie have been married since 1973.  They’ve raised three wonderful sons, Robbie, Chris and John.  Robbie is currently working as a Mechanical Engineer in Martinsville and has been married to his wife Monica since 1995.  They are the proud parents of William Tate and Anna Elizabeth.

Chris is now the Operations Manager at Hatchett Transportation and has been married to his wife Angela since 2002.Chris & Angela are the proud parents of Timothy Wayne Hatchett and are expecting their second child in April 2008.

John has just finished his master's degree in Mechanical Engineering and says he's staying single for a while. John has been teaching Geometry at Bassett High School in Bassett, VA since 2006.

After just a few years, Bobby and Linda retired from trucking, leaving Jerry and Bonnie as the sole owners. 

We started with 2 trucks, which were leased to Arthur H. Fulton, and then to D.S.S. Inc. In March 1984, we went out on our own and soon had several good customers.

 We continued to expand and more drivers and office personnel were added.  A year after we began, we moved into an office and garage in Martinsville, VA. The business grew faster than we anticipated, necessitating a move to larger facilities in Bassett, VA, a move that was made in 1985.

In 1985 we started H & H Truck Brokers, Inc., which complimented Hatchett & Hatchett Trucking.  In 1998, we merged both Hatchett & Hatchett Trucking, and H & H Truck Brokers, and renamed the company Hatchett Transportation, Inc.

Today we have grown to 16 company trucks and 40 (53' air-ride) Great Dane trailers. Our customer base has grown with us, and our goal is to continue to improve our good service to our customers, and to provide a good living for our drivers and employees.  

THANK YOU TO OUR CUSTOMERS AND DRIVERS for making HATCHETT TRANSPORTATION a success!
