Kamway Transportation Expands its operations by acquiring Produce Supply Express, Inc. of Spokane, WA

The former owner John Hutchins, Lom Hutchins, Jeff Hutchins, and Carol Hutchins, and with the new owners Kam Sihota.

We are pleased and excited to announce the newest addition to Kam-Way Transportation, our purchase of Produce Supply Express Inc., “PSE” of Spokane, Washington. A successful, family-owned, 33-truck and 60 reefer fleet operation founded by John Hutchins in 1972. We welcome the Produce Supply Express “PSE” family to our Kam-Way family. PSE will continue to operate under its current management. However, the KamWay Transportation leadership team will provide additional support so PSE can continue to provide top-notch service to its long-standing customer base. KamWay subsidiary Rees Enterprises, Inc. will share PSE’s terminal in Spokane as its second operating location. PSE provides dry and refrigerated asset-based trucking services to and from Eastern Washington to California/Arizona/ Nevada/Utah and Colorado. Since the founding of Kam-Way Transportation in 2008, it has grown remarkably. Today, the company has over 325 employees, 510 trailers, 226 tractors operating under three active trucking companies, and over 8,000 active contract carriers in their network. Kam Way transportation is headquartered in Blaine, Washington but it has teams operating from offices and terminals located in Sumner and Spokane in Washington, Fresno, and Stockton in California, and Surrey, BC, Canada. As stated by Kam Sihota in a recent article, “We will continue to innovate and grow organically and through acquisitions in this ever-changing world while trying to never lose sight of who we are and why we’re growing. It’s really all about our dream of building an amazing company that is respected by our driving staff, office staff, our customers, our contract carriers, and the public we serve.
