Southern Loggin’ Times magazine Associate Editor Jessica Johnson has the opportunity to spend some time with White Plains, Georgia’s Plains Logging Company and AllWood Equipment Company. Not one to sit still, Allen Coleman, 34, is a sharp guy with a lot on his plate. He, along with his brothers James, 37, and Grant, 35, and their father, Bill, 67, co-own three logging related businesses in northeastern Georgia: Plains Logging Co. and Coleman’s Store, both based in White Plains, and AllWood Equipment Co., located in Washington. Allen is responsible for daily operations at AllWood, a Tigercat dealership the family acquired two and a half years ago. He also stays informed of what’s going on in the other family businesses. As well, he helps maintain Plains Logging’s equipment. Though each business operates as a separate entity, the Colemans and their employees all pitch in to make sure each is as productive, customer-service friendly and profitable as possible.
