Our Story

Our story started back in 1982 when Jeff Behrens founded Behrens Trucking Inc. With a passion for the open road and a dedication to serving the agricultural community, he built a reputation for reliable, quality livestock hauling.

Fast forward to 2007, when Jeff and his son, Tyler (better known as Smoke), launched J&T Express Inc, combining years of experience with a forward-thinking approach.

Today, Smoke carries on the legacy, leading our business with the same values Jeff instilled. We continue to deliver the same trusted service that’s been at the heart of our operation for over four decades.

From the beginning, it’s been about more than just transportation - it’s about family, hard work, and a commitment to excellence.
