Southern Loggin’ Times magazine Associate Editor Jay Donnell visits Tim Cox Logging located in Iuka, Mississippi. When Tim Cox decided to start a logging company he expected some major challenges ahead. Cox, a fourth generation logger, worked at a young age in the woods for his father, Larry, and observed first hand what it took for his father to stay ahead, and how tough it could get. Still, Tim always knew he wanted to start his own business. His father knew it, too, and trained Tim accordingly, both in work ethic and business knowhow. So in 1988, Tim bought a John Deere 540 cable skidder, a tandem truck, two chain saws, borrowed a knuckleboom loader from his dad and began a long journey into the world of owning a logging business. It didn’t take long for his business to grow. For many years he ran two crews and worked seven days a week.
