1 case as defendant.
I'll research this company to build an accurate profile.
Let me verify the plaintiff's nature and check for ownership/parent details.
MVT Services LLC d/b/a Mesilla Valley Transportation (MVT) — Private truckload carrier headquartered at 3590 W. Picacho Ave., Las Cruces, New Mexico, founded in 1982 by Royal Jones (still president/CEO) and Jimmy Ray. It is privately held and part of an affiliated group that includes MVT Holdings, LLC, MVT Enterprises, Inc., and MVT Leasing, LLC; no public ticker. Size estimates vary by source: the company reported roughly 2,000 employees, 1,600 trucks, and 5,600 trailers in 2022 (KTSM), while Indeed lists a 1,001–5,000 employee band and $100M–$500M revenue band. FMCSA records list MVT Services at about 2,650 power units and 2,033 CDL drivers. These figures are third-party estimates, not audited disclosures.
Operations. MVT is an asset-based, time-sensitive truckload carrier serving the 48 contiguous states, Canada, and the U.S.–Mexico border. Service lines include dry van and refrigerated full-truckload, dedicated contract carriage, cross-border/maquiladora freight (El Paso–Ciudad Juárez and Laredo lanes), intermodal, and warehousing/logistics through MVT Logistics. A subsidiary, MVT Solutions (2016), sells fuel-economy testing and certification services to fleets. It is an operating company, not a licensor or NPE.
Litigation posture. The tracked data show one case, in which MVT is a defendant (0 as plaintiff): Fleet Connect Solutions LLC v. MVT Services LLC d/b/a Mesilla Valley Transportation, filed June 4, 2025, in the W.D. Tex. (Midland Division), case 7:25-cv-00264. This is the classic operating-company-defending profile. Plaintiff Fleet Connect Solutions is a non-practicing entity per Unified Patents' litigation database; in parallel litigation a court noted Fleet Connect "does not contest" NPE status.
Context. Fleet Connect has filed a broad campaign against fleet-telematics and ELD vendors and their customers, including Werner Enterprises, Schneider National, PACCAR, Xirgo, and Clarience Technologies, asserting patents such as U.S. 7,260,153 covering wireless communication and vehicle-tracking technology. MVT's appearance fits that pattern: a truckload carrier sued over its use of third-party fleet-management technology.
Fleet Connect Solutions LLC asserted the '153 patent against MVT Services LLC d/b/a Mesilla Valley Transportation in W.D. Tex. (Midland). This is an unmarked portfolio campaign case; the narrative notes that '153 inclusion is likely but not confirmed in its sources. The case is open.
