G.W.Cox Construction Ltd. has been in business in Southern Alberta since 1954. What started out as one man and a gravel truck has evolved into a major Construction/Earthworks business with a core staff of long time employees. G.W.Cox Construction has been in business for over 50 years!

1950's
Gary W. Cox moved to Raymond where he met Constance Alberta Mehew. They were married June 10, 1952. Gary worked construction. The building of the St. Mary's Irrigation system was in progress and he ran Scraper and Dozer on projects like the Cross Coulee Dam south of Raymond. One of his favorite job's was working at the Sugar Factory, first as a sample chaser at the lab then later as one of the youngest Beet End foreman Rogers ever had.

In 1954, with the help of two finance companies, Gary bought his first Gravel Truck. Over the next ten years, Darrell, Cheralin, Stuart and Richard were born, and then GW had to really work, and haul gravel he did.

1960's
When the Sixties came GW bought more gravel trucks. In 1964 he bought one of the first tandem axle gravel trucks which he picked up in Oshawa and drove home with other new trucks in tow. This truck was used for gravel hauling in the summer and set up for car hauling in the off season. Gary hauled for His Uncle Howard at Melchin Transport, picking up cars in Oshawa for delivery in Alberta.

GW formed an alliance with Richard Hetke and Irvin Duncan. Cox Hetke Duncan Trucking in 1967 acquired the first large scale contract to haul sugar beets from the beet dumps to the Taber sugar factory. Gary's experience at the sugar factory paid off. The trucks hauled around the clock proving that trucking could be an alternative to rail cars.

In 1969 G.W. Cox Construction became a Limited Company.

During the Seventy's GW Cox changed the focus of his company to Excavating, and with his wife, Constance Alberta Mehew as his partner the business grew.
