jones express???

I live about a mile from their old terminal in Spring City and grew up in this area. I didn't initially post here because, not being a driver, I can't answer the question directly. But I will say Jones Motor was a great neighbor -- good community people. My husband has done some work for their facility -- both in Spring City and now in Limerick -- and he has a lot of respect for their company.

 

Jones Motor is very much like Landstar, only smaller. It is an O/O based flatbed, drop deck company. You work with agents. You have to own or lease a trailer from them. They are the oldest trucking company in the US. I was leased to them until I got too old for flatbed work. Great company, good people.

 

Belltransit,
You are quite correct! I forgot about them. I think they are run out of Bowling Green, KY ? I never saw many of those guys, except for a hand that had a dedicated run from PA to GA.

 

Didn't they pay a fuel surcharge to help defray the cost?

 

35% of the gross as an advance for fuel is not a fsc.
