Family Owned and Operated for 3 Generations – and Proud of It!
Providing Transportation Service for Over 70 Years
C.C. “Shorty” Jones started this trucking company with one truck back in the late 40’s hauling poultry out West and produce back East. Today, C.C. Jones Trucking is operated by his daughter, Vicki Jones Stephens, and her son, Gabe Stephens. Our trucks have changed over the last 70 years, but the quality service hasn’t changed a bit.
Letter from the President
In 1960, my Dad, C.C. “Shorty” Jones got out of his 1954 AutoCar Diesel Truck, the truck that he said made him enough money to start his brokerage company. He and Johnny Vouk created Jones & Vouk Brokerage Company and that lasted a few years. They separated on good terms and each went their separate ways to create their own companies.
Dad created C.C. Jones Produce Trucking and partnered with W.T. “Bill” Kidd. They incorporated C.C. Jones, Inc, in 1964. Their partnership lasted over 30 years.
I, Vicki Jones Stephens, went to work for them in June, 1966 and have been there ever since. Mother and I use to ride with Dad when I was a little girl and he would tell me stories about the states I had seen. I have met many wonderful people, made many lasting friendships, and made positive contributions to this industry. This industry has been good to my family and I am proud to I say we are a third-generation company.
A.L. “Buddy” Eubanks and I had an opportunity to buy out Bill Kidd and in 1996 Gabe Stephens and I bought out Buddy. Dad passed away July, 1997, but lived long enough to see his daughter and grandson rebuild the companies that he had spent his life building. He was so proud!
Gabe and I work every day in an industry that we love and we will work to continue to see the C.C. Jones name run up and down our highways.
