Hattiesburg, Miss - Jones Logistics, a portfolio company of Jones Capital, is proud to announce that Nick Deal has been promoted to Vice President of Brokerage Operations. Nick joins the executive team from his most recent position within the company as Director of Crane Mat Operations.
Nick started working with Jones Logistics in January 2017 as a Carrier Sales Representative. He was promoted to Manager of Crane Mat Operations in 2018, and was later promoted to Director in 2020. Throughout his time at Jones Logistics, Nick has demonstrated a tremendous ability to lead, work with others, and successfully manage difficult freight.
“I am very excited for Nick and his taking of this role.

For over 20 years, Jones Logistics has been dedicated not only to providing clever and customized solutions to fit the needs of every partner, but it is also dedicated to maintaining long-lasting relationships that are built on confidence and consistency. In the transportation industry, customer service is often traded for profit.
