Jackson, Tennessee-based Milan Supply Chain Solutions (CCJ Top 250, No. 145) and its subsidiary J&B Services, based in Pontotoc, Mississippi, have been acquired and will merge to form a new dry van truckload carrier, Ascend. Milan acquired J&B Services in 2018.
The new Atlanta-based now-consolidated carrier will focus on the regional middle-mile market in retail, consumer goods, packaging and industrial supply sectors across the South, Midwest and Mid-Atlantic regions.
