Meet the owner
Built by a veteran who knows the road
EAI Transportation was started by Jeremiah Williams: nine years a combat engineer in the Virginia Army National Guard, and a Class A CDL driver who has run freight across the country. The same discipline from service runs the business: show up, do what you said, tell the truth when plans change.
That's why our dispatch pays you fairly and our trucking is honest about times. It's one person's name on the line.
