James Group is a privately held, minority certified, provider of global supply chain management services. The company was founded in 1971 by John A. James as a provider of freight transportation services. John A. James overcame numerous legislative obstacles at both the federal and state levels to obtain his company’s 48-state and international operating authority. The legislation at the federal level represented the first major change in trucking regulation and eased the burden of minorities entering the trucking industry. From a single heavy-duty truck and annual sales of less than $50,000, the company grew and in mid-1990s, became the highest volume truckload carrier for a major OEM by hauling more than 2,000 truckloads of cargo weekly. That number continues to increase as the company expands under the leadership of his two sons Lorron and John E. James.
