Company History In 1971 Richard Johanson - a World War II veteran and author of "A Passion for Stewardship" - founded Johanson Transportation Service (JTS) in Fresno, California after managing a local transportation brokerage company for fifteen years. Starting with a staff of four employees crowded into a small rented office at a local truck stop, JTS has grown to over sixty employees operating from seven offices in five states. Richard's son, Larry Johanson, currently serves as President and Chief Executive Officer. Larry's daughter, Amanda, became the third-generation family member to join the JTS team after graduating from California State University Long Beach. From its inception over 37 years ago, the company - through its expanding group of talented and committed staff - has been dedicated to providing the highest possible levels of service to its valued customers. JTS is proud of its position as a leader in maximizing the use of state-of-the-art logistic technology in every phase of its operations.
