Meet Our Team

Jacob was born and raised in Omaha, Nebraska, in a family deeply rooted in the construction and trades industry. His father, a journeyman electrician, worked extensively in high-voltage construction and eventually became a respected foreman. Known for leading from the front, staying hands-on, and earning the respect of his employees, Jacob’s father not only taught him the value of hard work but also the importance of contributing to the community. Growing up, Jacob watched him solve on-site challenges, manage crews, and ensure quality and safety—experiences that shaped Jacob’s own work ethic and leadership style.

Inspired by his father’s dedication and problem-solving mindset, Jacob pursued his own path in construction and engineering. After graduating high school in 2014, he earned an Associate’s degree in Land Surveying at Southeast Community College in Milford, Nebraska (2016). During this time, Jacob gained extensive hands-on experience on construction sites, working in a variety of roles including land surveying, materials testing, construction inspection, and site layout. This field experience allowed him to understand the practical challenges of construction projects—from soil and material testing to precise surveying and quality control—giving him a unique perspective that combines both technical expertise and real-world problem solving.

Motivated to contribute to the industry in a unique way, Jacob continued his education at the University of Nebraska at Omaha, earning a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering in 2020. Jacob is now a licensed Professional Civil Engineer (PE) in both Nebraska (2024) and South Dakota (2025). Over the years, he has worked on a variety of projects across the Omaha community and beyond, including Offutt Airforce Base, Emerald View Apartments (Lincoln, NE), City of Omaha Parks & Rec Flood Recovery, Arby’s locations, Smash Sports Complex, Mid-States Utility, Love’s Gas Stations, Casey’s General Stores, Truck Centers, and more. These projects reflect Jacob’s deep commitment to improving the infrastructure and services of his hometown and surrounding communities.

In 2025, Jacob founded J3 Midwest Trailer & Transport LLC with a few close friends and family, with a vision to provide trailer rental services that make it easy to rent and transport trailers—no truck needed, no driving required. Drawing on his father’s hands-on leadership style and a decade of experience in the trades, Jacob leads the company with the same principles: staying involved, accountable, and focused on delivering high-quality, dependable service.

“Our goal is simple: to make trailer rental and transport hassle-free, reliable, and convenient—no truck? No problem. We’ve got you covered.”
— Jacob Dubbelde, PE

Joseph Dubbelde, the younger brother of Jacob Dubbelde, was raised in a hardworking family. He grew up understanding the value of dedication, persistence, and pride in doing a job the right way.

Like many young men graduating high school, Joseph wasn’t entirely sure what path he wanted to pursue. Determined to build a future, he enrolled in a CNC Technology program. In 2022, he graduated with his CNC degree, gaining valuable technical training and hands-on experience. After a year of working in the field, however, he realized it wasn’t the long-term fit he was searching for.

Finding his direction

Rather than settling, Joseph made the decision to pivot. He began working at Werner Enterprises, where he discovered something unexpected—he genuinely enjoyed operating and moving tractors. What initially seemed like just another job quickly sparked a realization: this could be more than temporary work; it could be a long-term career.

Motivated by that clarity, Joseph enrolled at Roadmaster Drivers School and earned his Class A Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) in August 2024. From that point forward, he committed fully to the profession—and hasn’t looked back since.

Professional qualifications

Joseph is qualified to operate any vehicle requiring DOT certification for 10,000 pounds or more over the road. His training and licensing allow him to safely and confidently handle a wide range of commercial equipment while maintaining strict compliance with federal regulations.

Whether transporting dry goods for large companies operating on strict delivery schedules or helping homeowners move their personal belongings to a new property, Joseph approaches every load with the same level of care and professionalism. He understands that commercial freight represents business commitments and supply chains, while personal moves represent someone’s home, memories, and future. In both cases, the responsibility is significant.

From pickup to final delivery, clients can trust that their cargo is in safe hands. Joseph prioritizes safety, secure load handling, punctuality, and clear communication every mile of the journey.

Work ethic & philosophy

Joseph believes that finding the right career isn’t always a straight path. Sometimes it takes exploration, persistence, and the courage to change direction. His journey reflects resilience, adaptability, and a strong commitment to doing the job right.

For Joseph, trucking isn’t just about driving—it’s about reliability, professionalism, and delivering peace of mind one mile at a time.
