Following its acquisition of Havens Transport in Jan. 2021, Denver-based US Transport has been using a communications tool to gather driver feedback to help smooth the transition.
Acquisitions in the trucking industry show no signs of slowing down, especially in niche sectors where carriers are competing directly, time and again, for the same customers and drivers.
Companies with similar business models, leadership philosophies, complimentary freight lanes and equipment are the ideal targets for buyers. In many cases, drivers are what buyers value most, but there are no guarantees they will stay.
US Transport, a tank carrier of dry bulk materials, has acquired 16 companies under the ownership of Chief Executive Steve Nelligan. The most recent was Havens Trucking on Jan. 1, 2021.
