JT Transportation, a division of Des Moines-based JT Logistics, has announced the acquisition of Twin River Logistics, a logistics provider specializing in refrigerated transportation based in Clive and operating in the lower 48 states.
Twin River Logistics, founded by Reggie Tehel in 2008, has 25 owner-operators and has built a strong reputation for reliable temperature-controlled transportation. Twin River will continue to serve current customers under the JT Logistics brand from its operations base in Kansas City, while also capitalizing on opportunities with current JT Logistics customers.
Expanding Cold Chain Capabilities
The acquisition of Twin River Logistics adds critical refrigerated and temperature-controlled transportation capacity to JT's growing fleet. As demand for cold chain logistics continues to rise - driven by e-commerce grocery, meal kit delivery, pharmaceutical distribution, and agricultural exports - this acquisition positions JT to serve clients with increasingly complex temperature requirements.
- Refrigerated Fleet: Addition of Twin River's specialized reefer trucks and trailers
- Temperature Monitoring: Real-time temperature tracking and compliance documentation
- Regional Expertise: Deep knowledge of Midwest agricultural and food distribution routes
- Experienced Drivers: Trained cold chain transportation professionals join the JT team
A Natural Fit
Twin River Logistics' Clive, Iowa headquarters sits just minutes from JT's Des Moines operations, enabling immediate operational integration. The combined team strengthens JT's ability to offer end-to-end logistics solutions - from temperature-controlled warehousing to refrigerated last-mile delivery.
"With this acquisition, we're excited to strengthen our ability to serve clients coast to coast." - Jamie Cord, CEO of JT Logistics
"We're excited to be a part of the JT Logistics team. And we're confident that with Jamie and his team behind the wheel, this new chapter in the company's history will only be a benefit to our current and future customers." - Reggie Tehel, CEO of Twin River Logistics
