Groendyke Transport and Georgia Tank Lines (GTL) signed a purchase agreement for Groendyke to acquire all the tank truck assets of GTL. The companies anticipated a closing date of Jan. 1. The acquisition increases Groendyke's driver count by 39 to about 900, the company said, while opening Groendyke to the new market of the Greater Atlanta area. "We are excited to bring this group of safe, professional drivers to Groendyke Transport," said Greg Hodgen, Groendyke president and CEO. "This acquisition expands our business into a new area, which fits well with one of our core values-growth. Throughout its 25-year history, owner Deborah Latham and the leadership team of Georgia Tank Lines have prided themselves on safety and determined customer and employee service, all of which make the acquisition of Georgia Tank Lines a great fit with Groendyke Transport and our long-term goals." |
