BakerÆs Transport acquired by Ohio company.
Baker's Transport Service of Lakeland, a provider of long-distance trucking services and specialized bulk trucking for water treatment and power generating plants, has been acquired by Dedicated Transport, a contract trucking and logistics services company based in Cleveland.
Dedicated Transport serves the Midwest and eastern United States, and plans to increase its presence in the Southeast by acquiring a number of mid-sized companies over the next few years, a company statement said.
Frank Wagner, Dedicated's president and chief executive officer, said Baker's Transport is a unique company serving a niche market, and its services could be replicated in other locations.
