Trimac Transportation U.S. has acquired the assets of KFJ Trucking. KFJ Trucking has long been a staple in Cleveland and a leader in the coal transportation industry in Emery County. Kerwin Jensen was the long time owner with family members helping out over the years with coal hauling and management.
