"The 27-year-old Jones is a wide load at 6-foot-1 and a run-stuffing 335 pounds. But more importantly, you should know that Jones owns a trucking and logging company based in his hometown of Waynesboro, Miss. "My rookie year, I just started buying trucks, doing contract hauling," he said. "But now I'm contract logging. Now I'm going out there cutting trees and putting them in my truck and hauling them. I get paid for the logging and the trucking industry.""
"Jones' business, 7J Logging (Jones is the seventh child in his family), includes a fleet of 16 18-wheelers, three skidders, three loaders and a host of fuel tanks to keep them all gassed up. He employs 10 drivers. " If the wood doesn't get hauled, I can't get paid," the affable Jones said. "I think (two weeks ago) we hauled 128 loads.""
