Our Story
“We believe in supporting our people, building satisfying careers, continuously focusing on our customers and partners, and planning for financial growth alongside our clients. We’ll gladly say ‘no’ on business that isn’t the right fit – we’re looking for long-term relationships that can be cultivated over time. Our first investment in West Memphis, Arkansas, gave us the opportunity to scale our leadership team diligently. These individuals are zeroed in on serving others and approaching company culture as ONETEAM. We’re excited to be focused on growing organically with private business owners who have a common vision for both value creation and dedication to their people, customers, and partners.” — Stu & Terry Towner

In 2020, the Jaguar network grew by 94% with the addition of eight separate operations. Becoming a premier transportation company, the Jaguar team continues to push forward in sustainability, innovation, and business development.
