I remember receiving a handwritten welcome card and Nelson-Jameson gift when I was hired. That had never happened to me before when starting at a new company. I knew then this was going to be a special place to work. Although there have been highs and lows, like in any other workplace, that feeling of being a part of something special has remained.

We own our trucking company
We take great pride in owning and operating our own fleet of trucks and trailers, ensuring reliable and efficient delivery of products across the United States. Our drivers enjoy the benefit of dedicated local and regional routes, allowing them to spend their weekends at home rather than being on the road for extended cross-country trips. With strategically located distribution centers, we are able to provide seamless, dedicated truck routes that prioritize fast, dependable service for our customers.
I have been working with NEXT Logistics and Nelson-Jameson for over 30 years. I started as a part-time driver and part-time warehouse associate, then chose to become a full-time driver. The equipment we drive is top-of-the-line and is always meticulously maintained. NEXT has gone from 3 trucks to...I can't even count how many! It's great to be a part of an expanding company!
