Cairo-based Bearden trucking is expanding into Valdosta

It's great to see a business thriving, especially from the local area.

From http://www.timesenterprise.com/articles/.../news/news4.txt:
 
The 8-year old company, based in Cairo, is expanding and opening a new maintenance base in the Perimeter East Industrial Park, adding 63 jobs with an annual payroll of $2.4 million to the area economy.
Owner Robert Bearden said, "Valdosta is a crossroads for trucking, with Interstate 75 and Interstate 10. Valdosta is growing, and that's why we're here -- to support that growth."
