ABOUT US

Independent Welding and Transport Auto & Diesel Shop is a family-owned and operated business proudly serving Ontario, OR. What began as a transportation and welding company has grown into a full-service repair shop dedicated to keeping trucks, equipment, and vehicles running strong.

​

Our owner, John Cherry, brings decades of experience as a long-haul truck driver and one of the largest hay brokers in the Pacific Northwest. Beyond hauling hay, John also transports roofing, lumber, heavy equipment, and more. As a journeyman pipefitter with exceptional welding skills, John adds unmatched expertise to our shop—ensuring every repair is done right the first time.

We’re proud to be building a family business that works closely together to create a lasting legacy for future generations. Now celebrating two years in business, we’re excited about the growth ahead and the opportunity to serve our community. We’d be honored to earn your trust and hope you’ll choose to support our family business.
