Founded in 1988 and still family-owned, AMX is led by Scott White, Founder and CEO; his son’s Collins White, President and COO; and Taylor White, CPO. The company operates locations in Ashford, AL; Savannah, GA; and Jackson, GA. The addition of the flatbed division enhances AMX’s competitive edge by offering a broader range of professional driving opportunities, including southeast regional, super-regional, and over-the-road positions that cater to diverse lifestyles.

Scott White, who started AMX with just two trucks, reflects on the company’s growth: “When I started in 1988, I could not have imagined that the legacy I dreamed about would still be expanding 36 years later with my two sons, Taylor and Collins. Passing on my industry knowledge and passion for AMX has been a great achievement. Seeing their dedication gives me confidence that AMX will continue to thrive for many years to come.”

Collins White, Co-Owner, President, and COO, expressed enthusiasm about the new flatbed operation: “We are excited to launch this new division, which will enhance our ability to meet diverse customer needs with increased flexibility and efficiency. This expansion reinforces our commitment to providing top-tier logistics solutions and positions AMX for ongoing growth and success.”

Taylor White, Co-Owner and CPO, added: “This new division allows us to better serve our customers and continue providing quality jobs in our community. We are thrilled to expand our capabilities and support the growing needs of our valued customers.”

Jeff Hopkins, VP of Specialized Operations, emphasized “AMX is built on a foundation of hard work and dependability. With the introduction of our flatbed services, we will continue to uphold the excellent service that defines our reputation.”

Null comes to J&M Tank Lines with 30 years of experience within the trucking industry in segments such as Dry Van, LTL, Dry Bulk and Liquid Bulk. He has overseen day-to-day operations and managed dozens of terminals with revenue achievements spanning hundreds of millions during his time.

Null has a focus on customer relations and professional development for his team to ensure growth opportunities are not just met, but also offer a smooth expansion experience for all parties. His experience with setting and managing company policy provides him with a well[1]rounded perspective within trucking, ranging from areas such as finance, maintenance and safety to human resources, recruiting and sales.

“Any time a new leader is introduced into an organization it allows for changes in business opportunities and growth strategies,” says Peter Sumerford, J&M’s President and Director of Sales. “Harold and I have invested a great amount of consideration into the future of J&M and the qualities we expect from our fellow officers. We are confident Jeff will be a strong addition to J&M Tank Lines and our people.”

Null is an East Texas native and Marine who believes trucking is a people business. For him it is not about how many trucks a company has, but the impact individuals make, allowing for relationships to flourish and standards to be exceeded.

“I am very excited to join the J&M team,” said Null. “The Sumerfords have set a standard, and I look forward to working with everyone while continuing to move things forward.”

The thrill of accomplishment and conquering a challenge is what has attracted and kept Null in the trucking industry. The ability to set goals and accomplish those goals in an ever-changing environment is a highlight that falls second only to Null’s passion for people and their development.

“Trust is a big part of my leadership style,” said Null. “I ask a lot of questions and like to understand the current operations, what is working and what areas can we improve.”

Sumerford, Jr. J&M’s CEO. “I believe Jeff will help us further the leadership initiatives we have set to support our business strategy and will serve as a key stakeholder in the professional development of our employees.”

National Carriers, Inc. named Randy and Darci Wickman as Drivers of the Month for July 2023. They reside in Blackwell, Oklahoma on the I-35 interstate corridor. The Wickman team received a one- thousand- dollar bonus and are now eligible to be named 2023 Driver of the Year. The NCI Driver of the Year will receive an additional $10,000 bonus during a banquet held next year.

“Being together allows us to see the best and the worst of each other. There is no getting away so we must talk through whatever is bothering us. Our family, back home, does not understand life on the road, only those on the road do. We are not sightseeing. When we are driving, we are working” Darci observed.

Having driven for six years, Randy applied at National Carriers when Darci joined the company through the paid training program. After her training was complete, they began their teaming career. Darci has found the lifestyle is exactly what she had hoped for, waking up to a different “porch view” every morning.

Operations Manager, Teresa Henshaw shared her view of the Wickman’s, “Darci and Randy are a go to team. They are always willing to go the extra mile to try to ensure on-time delivery. They are willing to switch loads last minute, relay a load running behind, or move trailers around to ensure our customers have trailers to load. They are an asset to National Carriers and are truly appreciated for all they do.”
