Southern Loggin’ Times magazine Associate Editor Jay Donnell travels to Hickory Grove, South Carolina to visit Wilkerson Logging. William Wilkerson and his company, Wilkerson Logging, don’t have any trouble finding work. The business, established in 1966, has long had a sparkling reputation and been a staple in South Carolina. Wilkerson and his two crews are known for leaving jobsites in better shape than they found them and because of that they’re constantly receiving phone calls from landowners around the Palmetto state. When Wilkerson was in high school his family owned a farm five miles outside Hickory Grove and when he was in 11th grade he started hauling short wood to a nearby log yard. On many occasions he would cut short wood before school and bring it with him and then when the school day was over he would get it unloaded. By his senior year he had his own crew and started hauling more and more.
