Safety is Key
A safe work environment is especially important in our business of transporting heavy equipment. At J&M Premier Services Inc., our management team puts into practice what we believe about safety: rules and regulations are necessary and can enhance, not hinder, the work place, AND safety requires an active, not passive, commitment by everyone who works at our Company.
