This acquisition will allow Hirschbach to expand their freight capacity and offer additional services to their customers, according to a statement from Hirschbach, a refrigerated/temperature control specialist with a current driver/operator base of 2,200. The company is expected to exceed 2,400 after the integration with Lessors.
