This year has been a hot one for mergers and acquisitions among trucking fleets, particularly among CCJ‘s Top 250 for-hire carriers. Deals among carriers of all sizes have popped up throughout the year, but there has been a substantial uptick early and mid-year among the country’s largest.
Fleets and investment groups entered January with checkbooks in hand, and to date 20 Top 250 fleets have struck 18 deals this year.
