Field Recruiter for the Jones Motor Group
Background: Driver, Owner Operator, and Fleet Owner from 1977 to 1996.
Operations manager and recruiter from 1996 to 1998. In 1998 I started with
the Jones Motor Group. I have several years of experience on both sides
of the trucking industry.
I want to thank you for taking the time look at my web page.
I have worked with the Jones Motor Group for 12 years. In transportation
management that is a long time for most companies. At Jones Motor I’m in
the middle of the seniority list.
Jones Motor is a family environment for its employees and drivers. We have
many owner operators that have been here for 10 to 20 plus years.
As an owner operator you have seen several changes in the past couple of
years.
The industry was on a record high for revenue in 2006. Followed by a big
decline that started in the fall of 2008. We have seen fuel prices from
2.00 a gallon all the way to 5.00 plus per gallon. I receive phone calls
everyday saying “ My company only gives me half of the fuel surcharge”.
Jones Motor is very proud of our fuel surcharges and that you receive 100
percent.
Jones Motor is 100 percent Owner Operator. We have no company trucks to
compete with. We have a strong network of agents to keep you loaded with
customer freight, good rates and fuel surcharges. We have real people in
our central dispatch to help you know what loads are available. We operate
a non forced dispatch. You are in charge of the loads you haul and the areas
you operate in.
We have a Winners’ Circle program to get you discounts on fuel, tires, and
accessorials. We have a trailer program available for lease purchase or
rental.
We are looking for good owner operators and drivers to operate in 48 states
and Canada.
Jones Motor started operations in 1894. That is quite a legacy of its own.
Jones has always been in front of its competition with technology and resources.
I know owner operators have many choices of trucking companies to work for.
If you’re looking for an established trucking company with a family atmosphere,
give us a call.

I started trucking in 1973. If I'd started with Jones Motor then I would
be retired right now.
I trucked with Randy Sutton when he was an O/O in the early 1990's. We
lost track for a while and when we ran into each other again in January
of 2000 Randy had joined the Jones team. After seeing the rates and amount
of freight, I couldn't sign up fast enough.
In 2004 I was selected Overdrive Magazine's
Driver of the Year. While attending truck shows and talking with drivers,
I give Jones Motor all the credit for my success. We have good rates,
fuel surcharges and we make money. We are very happy with the family atmosphere
at Jones Motor.
What it all comes down to is "Run with the best and
good things happen".
