dedicated since 2000

How WTE was founded

West Tennessee Expediting Inc. was founded in Ripley, TN in October of 2000 by current CEO Jeff Buckner. WTE began as a dedicated parts delivery service responsible for providing transportation to local customers in three neighboring states. 


Now, 2 decades later, this dedicated parts delivery service which emerged with just 4 power units, now has over 180 and is serving all states within the US. While our company has seen drastic growth and changes beyond measure since it surfaced in 2000, one vision has remained clear and consistent from the beginning: The 5 W’s come before all else at WTE. West Tennessee Expediting takes pride in the who’s, what’s, when’s, where’s, and why’s. 


We care for who needs a product delivered. We care for our customer. We care for what needs to be taken where. We care for the product. We care for when and if the product is delivered effectively. We care for safety and being on time. We care for where the product is going. We guarantee the product gets to its final destination. We care for why we do what we do. We care for assisting you in all of your transportation needs. We are dedicated. We are WTE.
