JWG Trucking is a growing dump truck hauling company based in Port St. Lucie, serving general contractors across the Treasure Coast and Palm Beaches. We are not a typical dump truck broker. When a contractor hires us, we become the single accountable party for their hauling, and our name rides on the trucks showing up and the job staying on schedule. We are built on excellence, integrity, and dependability, and we hire people who take pride in doing exactly what they said they would do. As we grow, we want team members who want to grow with us and own real results.
