“This is very good news for the many loyal customers of Wilson” said C.L.

“This is an important move for Central Freight Lines,” said Don Orr, president and CEO of Central Freight Lines. “It allows us to fulfill our strategy of being the premier coast-to-coast Sunbelt LTL provider in the industry. We look forward to adding Wilson’s customers to Central’s list of highly satisfied customers.”
The sale is expected to be complete by March 31. No other details, including cost of the transaction were provided.
