About Abilene Motor Express

Named after a small town in south central Virginia, Abilene Motor Express was founded in 1986 by brothers, Keith and Kolen Jones.  A family-owned business rooted in hard work and determination, Abilene began operation with a single tractor.  Today, our Company is headquartered in Richmond, Virginia and is powered by nearly 400 late-model tractors. Our equipment can be found traveling any highway across the Continental United States and Canada.

Since the Company’s founding, Abilene Motor Express has continued to bring innovations to the long-haul, over-the-road truckload market, and we take great pride that Abilene is a leading provider of expedited and time-definite services.  The Company has also changed the marketplace by adding strong strategic service offerings, featuring regional operations, Dedicated Contract Carriage, and Sole/Single Source Transportation Services for both dry, and temperature-controlled commodities.

In addition we have developed a large team-operated fleet, providing a competitive advantage for customers who need just-in-time expedited delivery, as well as deferred airfreight services.  All of our tractors are equipped with two-way satellite communications, and tracking, which allows us to better serve you, the customer.
