Richmond, Virginia-based Estes Logistics recently announced it has acquired Key Trucking.

Key Trucking, based in Kent, Washington, is a regional full-service transportation and freight service provider throughout Western Washington and the greater Pacific Northwest. 

The acquisition allows Estes Logistics to expand its footprint into the Pacific Northwest. All current Key Trucking employees will transition to Estes.

“Our priority was finding a partner that could provide good service and expanded opportunities to our customers while being a great home for our long-term employees. Estes is both,” said Mike Castagno, owner of Key Trucking.

Estes Express Lines provides LTL shipping, final-mile delivery and broader supply chain solutions across the United States, Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean.

“When we first learned that the Castagno family was considering retirement, we were immediately excited about the opportunity to integrate Key Trucking’s dedicated transportation network into our growing footprint,” said Bobby Speight, corporate vice president at Estes Logistics.
