ZMac acquires Mid-Pacific Transportation, increases open-deck capacity

ZMac Transportation Solutions, a third-party logistics company out of Racine, Wisconsin, announced Monday it has acquired Mid-Pacific Transportation, a full-service transportation brokerage located in Vancouver, Washington. The deal will give ZMac access to more open-deck capacity, continuing to solidify it as a large player in flatbed and other specialized trailers within the third-party logistics industry.

“We are very excited about adding Mid-Pacific to our rapidly expanding business. Mid-Pacific gives us a West Coast presence and significant expertise in the open-deck segment of the industry. [Mid-Pacific President] Bardel Bybee has done a fantastic job of creating a special company that will blend into our company culture very easily. We couldn’t be happier with this acquisition,” Matt Ziegler, president and CEO of ZMac, said in a press release.

ZMac’s leadership has focused on becoming one of the most technologically advanced third-party logistics companies within the specialized flatbed and over-dimensional freight space. Products that require specialized trailers tend to be more detail-oriented transactions that most leading technology companies have yet to address. ZMac’s cutting-edge technology includes ZRATE, its user-friendly oversize freight quoting tool.

“Their industry-leading technology and one-of-a-kind programs such as ZRATE and ZMATCH will further propel our business. ZMac’s fast-rate growth has been impressive and we hope to bring that growth-minded approach to our business. With our company culture so compatible, I believe this will be a highly successful combination of businesses,” Bybee said in the press release.
