Baker’s Transport Service provides bulk trucking services to water treatment and power generating plants throughout Florida. Frank Wagner, president & CEO of Dedicated, said his company plans to retain Baker’s management and its 20 drivers, as well as hire an additional 10 drivers over the next year.

“Baker’s … serves a unique niche market that we hope to replicate elsewhere in the country,” he said. “We are excited about this acquisition because we were able to retain good employees with a great work ethic. It also fits our southeastern growth strategy, which calls for us to acquire a number of mid-size trucking companies over the next few years.”
