Granite blocks arriving at our Savannah transloading yard.

GBA Transport, our in-house trucking company, handled the drayage from the port, delivering the containers to our facility where the SMT Bulk crew performed the transloading operations. A great example of both teams working together to keep materials moving.

Progress doesn’t need an announcement—but we’ll make one anyway.

As we prepare for 2026, Gba Transport has expanded its fleet with 6 brand-new 2025 Kenworth dump trucks.

This isn’t about keeping up. It’s about raising the standard.
Newer equipment. Greater capacity. More efficiency. Built to handle what’s ahead in dump and asphalt hauling.

While some companies wait to upgrade, we continue to invest—in our fleet, our operations, and the people behind the wheel. The goal is simple: run cleaner, stronger, and more reliable every year.

No shortcuts. No stagnation. Just steady growth and the right equipment to back it up.
