They were confident that they had the zeal & the drive required to pull it off.
And they pulled it off, indeed. After almost 5 decades, the Vancouver, Washington-based Joel Olson Trucking (JOT) is a major player in the region. An unwavering focus on customer service contributed to the steady growth of the company. From hauling rocks in a now-extinct Oregon town to becoming a multi-product carrier, the company has covered much ground.
