The JZ Expedited Companies join RoadOne IntermodaLogistics

RoadOne IntermodaLogistics, a single source intermodal, distribution, and logistics services company, announced today the acquisition of The JZ Expedited Companies headquartered in Jacksonville, Florida. This addition will augment RoadOne’s intermodal logistics capacity within Florida and serve as an extension of the company’s national transload and warehousing network. JZ’s full scope of services include: drayage, transload, oversized transportation, domestic LTL services, import and export logistics and container depot and Foreign-Trade Zone (FTZ) capabilities.

The JZ companies will be represented by two RoadOne branded business units: JZI IntermodaLogistics, which will include the former JZ Expedited Trucking, and North Florida Warehouse FTZ, and JZI LogisticsSolutions which will be comprised of JZ Expedited Logistics and JZI Global Supply Chain Management.

In early January, JZI announced that it plans to expand its warehouse in North Jacksonville and develop 45 additional acres of yard space at this location. The company is looking to engage with automotive and heavy equipment companies interested in strategic business expansion in Jacksonville.

“I am thrilled to join RoadOne, a well-established, premiere national intermodal drayage and logistics company and look forward to working closely with company founders, Ken Kellaway and David McLaughlin. Together, we will grow and strengthen JZI’s service capabilities,” said Robert Fox, Senior Vice President of Operations at JZI.

“I’m extremely pleased to have JZI join RoadOne to strengthen the services we offer our customers in the important Florida trade region. Shippers require greater supply chain efficiency, agility and flexibility in markets today and we’re committed to having the resources and service capabilities to deliver on these requirements,” said Ken Kellaway, CEO of RoadOne IntermodaLogistics.
