An example of working together by force

The energy bust has touched off a wave of consolidation among the trucking companies that haul equipment around the oil patch, where business is shrinking along with the tumbling price of crude.

This week, Daseke Inc. said it would buy Hornady Transportation, its second acquisition in just over a month. After the deal is completed, Daseke’s fleet will total over 3,000 tractors and 6,000 trailers, an increase in the tractor count of about 40% since last fall and a 50% addition in trailers.

This is just one example it is currnetly going on across our industry in all sectors to include the brokers.
