Our professional drivers are the best in the industry and represent J & M on the highest level of safety.
Technology is at the forefront of a company’s success. We leverage industry-leading technology, company-wide to manage our fleet, employee and customer information in the most secure and efficient way possible.
The Operations Department is the heart and soul of J&M. This department makes everything happen. They move the freight that our sales force obligates us to haul. Their efforts allow us to maintain the great reputation that we have in regard to Customer service.
When shipping goods, it’s always important to minimize movement. Pack crates or boxes as full
as possible, with heavier items on the bottom. If the crate is not filled, use packing material
to plug the empty spaces.
Freight service providers offer tracking services online to access a shipment’s status 24/7
from your computer or mobile device. You can track a shipment with a BOL number, but you can often
access the shipment’s location with the pro number, PO number, shipment reference number and shipment
number as well.
