As more and more dealers become tech savvy, have you found that demand for your services has grown over the years, with more dealers remotely bidding and gaining units and then turning to transportation companies to deliver them? Or do you find most of your clients still prefer to be on-site at auction and “kick the tires,” so to speak?
The transportation landscape has changed. Buyers aren’t going to brick and mortar auctions anymore; they’re ordering from their desk. We built our systems to facilitate this new method of buying and transporting vehicles. We provide the technology and assurances to provide peace of mind that dealers can get the right car to the right location. They can log into our system and download a copy of the proper paperwork.

Interview with the Owner Part 3 – Why JMN Logistics
Monday, October 12th, 2009There are a variety of transportation companies out there; what do you believe makes yours special? Why should dealers select you over a competitor?
There are three main things that set JMN Logistics apart from our competitors: our nationwide reach, our experience and our technology. With a growing fleet of dedicated trucks and drivers, along with an owner operator and carrier network consisting of over 3,000 haulers nationwide, we can handle customers’ needs, large or small. JMN’s experienced staff has over 200 combined years of vehicle logistics experience. We constantly look for ways to use cutting-edge 21st-century technology to streamline processes so our customers will have more time to focus on their core competencies.
We take orders from one to 1,000 and have a multi-modal approach to provide the best fit for our customers — everything from leveraging assets like our own trucks, to utilizing our rail partners, to our numerous storage and marshalling facilities. Our one-call-does-it-all approach is backed by experts with a strong logistics background.
Interview with the Owner Part 2 – Technology
Monday, October 5th, 2009Technology has become a key facet of today’s auto industry. What services and platforms are you now offering clients to help make their lives easier in this difficult economy?
Long ago we recognized that new technology would be critical to our growth and the growth of the transport industry. One of our latest innovations is the Transport 2.0 platform found at www.jmnhaul.com. This new, robust platform was tailored with the end customer in mind and facilitates competitive online quotes, quoting for multiple units (up to 10), national shipping from any point to any point, and quick and efficient ordering through a simplified user interface. The Transport 2.0 platform turns the experience of getting vehicles shipped into a three-minute process that can be done entirely over the Internet.
We’re also expanding connections to our OEM partners in order to quickly and accurately share information. JMN takes advantage of the latest Web and communications technology to streamline processes and make doing business with us as seamless as possible.

Interview with the Owner Part 1 – History of JMN Logistics
Monday, September 28th, 2009Please tell us about the history of JMN Logistics? When was it established/who established it? Has it changed hands over the years? How has it evolved over the years to meet the ever-changing industry?
JMN Logistics is proud to be celebrating our 10th anniversary in August 2009. It was established by Jon Michael Nuckolls, a third-generation car dealer from St. Louis. He had become a big player in auto auctions and had his own truck to haul vehicles. Other dealers began asking if he could haul their vehicles as well. JMN has grown from moving 30,000 units in 2000 to nearly 300,000 units in 2008. Additionally, our company went from seven employees and one truck in 1999 to 95 trucks and 165 associates in 2008.
In dealing with growth, one of our primary challenges is in constantly keeping the pulse of our thousands of customers, both large and small, and
meeting their expectations.
