Justin Jenkins is the president and owner of Greenville company Paveway Express LTD Co. He’s a Greenville native, and in 2020 was honored with the Minority Business of the Year Award by the Greenville Chamber of Commerce.
Jenkins founded Paveway Express in 2017 and now his company has 42 employees and works with high-profile customers such as BMW, Volvo, and Volkswagen. The company not only operates around-the-clock shuttles between a variety of warehouses but also transports car parts (hoods, seats, headliners) to many automotive-manufacturing suppliers.
Part of Paveway’s growth success comes from the chamber’s Minority Business Accelerator, which is a part of the chamber’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion program. Jenkins, who was actually awarded the Accelerator Award in this program, says the program allowed him to scale his company to another level and he is just one of over 100 of the program’s participants.
