The trucking and logistics company expands its sales efforts as a major player in a
booming market

Atlanta, Georgia March 11, 2019 – Alabama Motor Express, a powerful trucking and logistics company, opened a new sales office in Atlanta, Georgia. This new location broadens AMX’s current footprint in Freight Alley and puts the company in the center of a major United States distribution hub where Home Depot and Delta Airlines are among the shippers located there, as well as many leading carriers.

You work hard every day to maintain and improve your relationships with trucking and logistics partners. It’s a two-way street. A recent study indicates that it’s probably successful. But much like the factors that are shaping the shipping and transportation marketplace, that relationship is inevitably going to change sooner or later. Whether it’s for good or bad largely depends on how quickly your partners can anticipate and adjust to impending trends.

Digitalization is driving change virtually everywhere, but it’s especially disruptive for the automotive industry where automation is impacting the types — and numbers — of jobs available.

Ashford, AL, December 13, 2018 – Alabama Motor Express has reached an exciting milestone with the company celebrating 30 years as an Alabama-based trucking and logistics company. Family owned and operated, AMX has grown to be 300 employees, 250 trucks and 600 trailers. Over the last 30 years, the company has logged over 20 million miles and delivered more than two million shipments.

With the arrival of the Interstate Highway System in the 1950s, the trucking industry became the backbone of American commerce. Ever since, trucking companies have searched for ways to get the best, most experienced drivers to haul freight. The search continues today — but it requires incredible effort as career truck drivers are disappearing faster than ever.

It’s estimated that the trucking industry is short about 50,000 drivers. And it’s suggested to only get worse. According to the ATRI (American Transportation Research Institute), we’ll be short by as many as 800,000 drivers by 2026. How do we fix this driver shortage? Well, it’s an age-old question with a new-age solution.

Even after 30 years, AMX Trucking has no intention of slowing down to help drivers and customers thrive. Need proof? Check out the newly redesigned website: amxtrucking.com.

You’ve heard it before, “When truck drivers stop, America stops.” Well, it’s a good thing we don’t have to worry about that happening any time soon.

Produce season started this month. With it, comes a wide variety of possible risks associated with transporting food. These risks may seem minor but their disruptions have a far reach that pretty much everyone in the supply chain would like to avoid.

We’ve been talking about the capacity crunch we’re currently in for a good while now. And, it’s not slowing down anytime soon. We’ll be crunchier than Doritos long into 2019.
