Jorge Mendoza was raised in the small West Texas town of Pecos, Texas.  He graduated from Pecos High School in 1989, and recieved his Associates Degree from Universal Technical Institute in Phoenix, Arizona in 1990, specializing in Automotive/Diesel Technology.  He worked as a mechanic for several years before the call of the road took him all over the United States as an Owner Operator for Valley Transportation out of Grand Meadow Minnesota.  Along with his father, younger brother and a few other close relatives, they formed a core of profesional and reliable drivers at Valley Transportation, that helped grow the company during its infancy.  Jorge drove as an Owner Operator for 17 years, hauling oversized equipment from west coast to the east coast.

Eventually an opportunity in the West Texas oil fields provided the opportunity to create his own company, and so J&J Transport Servcies was born in 2006.  Through years of hardwork and sacrifice, he has been able to grow J&J Transport to the company it is today.  With most of his family members working in some capacity for the company, J&J Transport is family oriented at heart.

The office and shop now sit on his 300 acre ranch where he also lives with his wife Teresa and their 3 children, Kassandra, Alejandra, and Jorge Jr.  Together they are very involved in their children's school sports and programs, and enjoy spending time farming and raising horses and cattle on their ranch.
