The data leak came less than a week after Daseke first acknowledged the cyberattack. Daseke, the largest flatbed carrier in the U.S., issued a statement to FreightWaves in response to questions about the release of internal documents:

Texas-based Daseke said it would not offer further information as the investigation into the attack continues. The company has a fleet of over 5,000 tractors across its carriers in the U.S. and Canada, with 500 at North Dakota-based E.W. Wylie.
