    Kent Jordan has been named president of CRST Logistics, an operating company of privately-held CRST International. CRST Logistics offers third-party logistics services including logistics strategy, transportation management and information management.

    Jordan joins the company from Jacobson Transportation Co., part of the Jacobson Holding Companies, where he served as president for the firm, which focused on transportation brokerage, trucking and dedicated fleets. He was also president of Jacobson Logistics Companies in Des Moines, IA.
