Daseke Inc. has announced a merger with two open deck specialized transportation companies: The Schilli Companies, headquartered in Indiana, and Big Freight Systems Inc., headquartered in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.
“We’re proud to welcome Schilli and Big Freight, as well as each of their outstanding teams to the Daseke family,” said Don Daseke, president and CEO of Daseke. “Both companies are industry elites in the open deck specialized market, and will bring new dimensions to Daseke’s depth of services and geographic footprint. With the contribution of asset-light revenue, a first-class industrial warehousing operation, a new Midwestern presence, as well as an even stronger presence in the Canadian market, all of Daseke’s family of companies are able to benefit from our synergies and growing scale of operations.”
