Canada-based Trimac Transportation has acquired Doyle Sims & Sons Trucking, the company announced Aug. 24.
The addition of Gleason, Tennessee-based Doyle Sims & Sons Trucking expands Trimac’s bulk transport services, the company said in a statement. Trimac, a bulk hauler located in Calgary, Albert, employs 3,400 people across over 140 branch locations in Canada and the U.S.
Doyle Sims & Sons Trucking launched in 1949. It primarily operates in the Midwest, Southern and Southeastern U.S., hauling non-hazardous and non-food grade products.
The acquisition was Trimac’s fourth of 2023, President and CEO Matt Faure said in a statement. Trimac’s other deals this year included fluid hauler Jacknife Oilfield Services of Bonnyville, Alberta, in July; bulk hauler Transport Sylvian Lasalle of Joliette, Quebec, in May and American Industrial Partners Logistics of Wapakoneta, Ohio, a provider of bulk terminal, transportation and warehousing services, in April.
Doyle Sims & Sons Trucking employs 95 people who operate 111 trucks and 118 trailers, Trimac said. Doyle Sims & Sons Trucking’s fleet averages 8 million miles annually, hauling more than 18,000 loads per year, according to the company.
“In acquiring Doyle Sims & Sons Trucking Inc., we are not just adding another company to our portfolio, we are integrating three quarters of a century’s worth of experience, knowledge, and legacy into the Trimac family,” Faure said.
