Tragedy struck the United States in the wake of 9/11 and we saw a shift in freight hauling across the country. This is when we decided to downsize.

Closed the rigging terminal in New Britain, CT. The employee then relocated to Charlotte, NC. Pro Pac International operated under one location with J&J Machinery Transport and both were run by James Jones with crating, rigging, and warehousing. Specialized long haul Transportation had changed in the wake of 9/11 and was not a main focus of the business at this time.

J&J Machinery decided to get back into the long haul specialized trucking business. Multiple customers were requesting our quality of work, pleading with us to get back into the business. J&J hauling and brokerage authority was reinstated and used local rigging trucks.

Purchased two Kenworth trucks with some caution about whether hauling freight was going to make a true come back.

First new Kenworth was purchased as an Over the Road truck was purchased.

The management team for J&J Machinery was formed with 65% female leadership.

Business operations and analysts were hired to support the growth of J&J Machinery.
