Alabama-based PS Logistics recently announced its subsidiary, Blair Logistics, has acquired flatbed carrier Fluker Transportation.
Hammond, Louisiana-based Fluker provides flatbed and heavy-haul transportation to the construction and military defense markets throughout the Southeast.
Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
Fluker’s drivers and employees will operate under the Blair Logistics banner.
Birmingham, Alabama-based PS Logistics provides asset-based transportation as well as non-asset offerings like brokerage, third-party logistics and managed transportation.
“We are excited to welcome Fluker’s flatbed and heavy-haul drivers and employees to the PS Logistics family,” said Scott Smith, chief executive officer and co-founder of PS Logistics. “Fluker has continued to grow in a broadly challenged freight market, which is a testament to the company’s commitment to its drivers and service to its customers. Fluker aligns nicely with our desire to partner with founder- or family-owned trucking companies that put their drivers first, and PS Logistics is looking forward to the growth opportunities that will result from this acquisition.”
