This is really a “win-win” for everyone involved.”
“Volume and its employees are proud to join forces with Jones to build even stronger offerings to our customers,” said Doug Estes, former owner of Volume Freight. “Jones is known for its high quality and ability to advance businesses and employees alike. We believe in their vision and look forward to being a part of that advancement.”
