Blish-Mize to Partner with
J.B. Hunt for Delivery Service
Partnership Brings Safe Drivers, Continues On-Time Deliveries
“We feel the changeover to J.B. Hunt
is a positive and exciting one,” says
Jonathan Mize, CEO and president at
Blish-Mize. “First and foremost, it brings
better technologically based services,
access to detailed route efficiency analysis,
and significant route improvements.”
Greg Lutz, Blish-Mize executive vice
president of operations, agrees. “For drivers,
it will be a better, stronger program overall.”
The program formally switched hands
on Aug. 8, 2016. J.B. Hunt drivers are
now proudly wearing Blish-Mize/J.B. Hunt
apparel, and are ready to assist unloading
customers’ weekly deliveries. There is also
a new on-site J.B. Hunt account manager,
located at the Blish-Mize Distribution
Center in Atchison, Kansas, who is
responsible for the drivers.
Mize emphasized that service remains the
company’s top priority. “Our service will
grow stronger with this change,” he says.
“Our No. 1 concern is for the success and
happiness of our customers.”
