PS Logistics expands its flatbed network with Roane acquisition.
PS Logistics says Loudon County Trucking acquired substantially all assets of Roane’s trucking, logistics and leasing businesses. Roane serves Southeast and Midwest freight lanes.
What the sources establish
PS Logistics announced on November 5 that its Loudon County Trucking subsidiary acquired substantially all assets of Roane Transportation Services, Roane Logistics and B&W Leasing. The company describes the transaction as completed and did not disclose financial terms.
Roane specializes in flatbed and Conestoga shipping. Its freight includes aluminum, steel, electrical products and building materials moving across the Southeast and Midwest. The announcement describes more than 170 company, lease-purchase and owner-operator drivers.
Roane will operate as a division of Loudon County Trucking, with Steve Kennedy continuing to lead it. The announcement establishes a change in ownership, rather than new Central Illinois contracts or specific hauling opportunities.
Crossroads perspective
A practical next step
If your business works with Roane, confirm operational contacts and account instructions through an established channel. An acquisition announcement alone is not a reason to accept changed payment or dispatch details.
