Following a five-year stint away, Jeff DeVonde is excited to be coming home. Jeff will rejoin AMX, one of today’s fastest growing logistics companies, as the new Vice President of Sales—where he will lean on nearly 30 years of proven experience in the trucking and logistics industry to help continue to grow the AMX brand.
