The World Trade Center New Orleans announced last week that Jack C. Jensen Jr., founder of TCI Trucking and Warehousing, is the recipient of the 2023 C. Alvin Bertel Award, reports Biz New Orleans.
Presented annually since 1967, the award recognizes an individual who has made significant contributions to the Louisiana port community. Over the past four decades, Jenson has built TCI into the largest independent trucking and warehousing company in the New Orleans region.
Jensen has over 40 years of experience in the transportation, logistics, supply, value-added, import/export, port development and trucking industries. In 2006, he and his family founded Triton Stone, which now has 30 locations and is one of the largest importers of natural stone in the country.
Jensen’s TCI Plastics created the Mega Plastic District, located on 90 acres in the Upper Ninth Ward, exporting 1,200 containers a month out of the Port of New Orleans. Read the entire story.
