In 1925 our founder, Robert "Bob" Mitsugi Yamada, who at the young age of 16, founded the original company, Yamada Transfer, Inc. with a single one ton truck, sheer will, determination, and a whole lot of dreams. What started off as a one-man operation hauling to and from small businesses along the Hamakua Coast quickly grew to a successful hauling business.
It was the beginning of a tradition of service to the Big Island. Three years after he started the business he married Emma Maluo. Their marriage was unusual as she was part-Hawaiian and a daughter of a school teacher. Bob was from a plantation-poor Japanese immigrant family with only his desire to succeed and a penchant for hard work as a roadmap to their future.

Knowing how much concrete you need is incredibly important. You must first decide the thickness that is required for the specific project you are working on.
