Finishing up the 2nd load of this Brownhoist Crane we hauled for a customer who saved it from the scraper. Rumor has it, he's going to install this at his house for a master bedroom!

M. A. Jones Trucking along with Anker Trucking of Lynnwood IL successfully moved these 2 railroad cars this week. The first originating from Crest Hill, IL and the second one from Effingham, IL to Monticello, IL this week. Three different towing companies were used at the different loading and unloading sites, including Rendels of Joliet, Lugaris of Decatur, and Tri Power of Effingham. In addition to the towing companies providing the lifting of the cars, Heuerman Bros trucking provided a man and endloader to assist in moving the car and loading the trucks in Effingham, and Alta Equipment sourced a Volvo L150 for the lifting and placing of the trucks in Monticello. I want to give a huge thank you to everyone involved in making the these moves. Everyone worked efficiently and safely to get the job done quickly and no injuries.

M. A. Jones Trucking is looking to add a driver for 2019. We are looking at a couple different options, but self motivated hard working individuals are a must. Ideally you would live in central IL, have 2-3 years clean driving, lowboy or equipment hauling experience, be able to be gone over the road for a few days or up to several months.

We also are looking to add a local position which would include; home almost every night, local construction work using dump/belt trailer, possibly some equipment hauling as well.

If either of these driving positions interest you, please contact me at (309) 275- 4248 to discuss earning potential and benefits.
