Loudon County Trucking, a subsidiary of PS Logistics (CCJ Top 250, No. 21), has acquired Roane Transportation Services, Roane Logistics, and B&W Leasing. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Headquartered in Rockwood, Tennessee, and founded in 1996 by Steve Kennedy and Luke Wyatt, Roane is a privately owned flatbed and Conestoga shipping company with operations in Tennessee and Texas. The company operates more than 170 company, lease-purchase, and owner-operator drivers, hauling aluminum, steel, electrical products, and building materials primarily across the Southeast and Midwest. Roane also offers freight brokerage and warehousing services through Roane Logistics.
Roane will operate as Roane Transportation, a division of Loudon County Trucking, with co-founder Steve Kennedy remaining at the helm of the division.
Roane's geographic coverage and freight mix are complementary to the existing PS network. The acquisition strengthens PS Logistics’ presence in East Tennessee, expanding its footprint in a region critical to the aluminum manufacturing sector, said Houston Vaughn, president of PS Logistics’ trucking division.
