J&M Tank Lines, Inc. is a family-owned and operated company that has been in business since 1948. The company founder started the company with a loan of $125 from the People's Bank in Selma, AL moved his one truck from Selma to Montgomery, AL, and the legacy of J&M Tank Lines, Inc. was in motion.

Over the years, the business, locations, and people have changed, but one thing that hasn't changed is the work ethic that transformed a one-truck operation into the premier bulk carrier in the industry.
