This pushes Blair Logistics to over 500 power units and 1,250 flatbed trailers nationwide.<\/p>\n<p>Scott Smith, PS Logistics\u2019 co-founder and CEO, stated the larger fleet will improve Blair&#8217;s service quality and coverage area.

PS Logistics can potentially collaborate with ELS on moves needing both flatbed and specialized hauling.<\/p>\n<p>ELS owner Tim Butts expressed confidence in them suitably managing the former flatbed equipment and drivers.

In December 2022, it acquired Alabama\u2019s Buddy Moore Trucking and its 250-unit dry van and flatbed fleet.<\/p>\n<p>By acquiring well-run regional flatbed fleets, PS Logistics quickly scales operations in this asset-intensive sector. While focusing on flatbed trucking, the company also provides freight brokerage, third-party logistics and managed transportation services.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Positioned_for_Growth\"><\/span>Positioned for Growth<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>PS Logistics now operates over 1,750 units, predominantly flatbeds for the construction and materials industry. It has cultivated expertise in the niche over-length flatbed segment requiring specialized trailers.<\/p>\n<p>The company\u2019s selective acquisition strategy gives shippers confidence in working with them across wider regions. Customers benefit from expanded capacity and geographical reach as their own shipping needs grow.<\/p>\n<p>The fleet expansion also promises drivers more backhaul and load opportunities through PS Logistics\u2019 network. As the flatbed segment continues to see strong demand, the company is positioned for further growth in 2023.<\/p>\n<p>By leveraging their expertise and resources, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/ladingcargo.com\/\">Lading Logistics<\/a><\/strong> aims to provide efficient and reliable international shipping and logistics solutions for their clients.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Birmingham-based PS Logistics has purchased the 90-truck flatbed division of North Carolina&#8217;s ELS Transportation.
