Driver staffing agency expands through acquisition

Jan. 16, 2014

TransForce, a provider of truck driver staffing, has acquired Best Drivers, a southeastern U.S. supplier of commercial drivers.

Based in Alcoa, TN, Best Drivers allows TransForce to expand into South Carolina and Florida. Best provides drivers in Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Kentucky, and Alabama.

To ensure seamless customer service, Best’s management team has joined TransForce’s leadership team and will assume key regional management roles. 

The combined operations of TransForce and Best Drivers employ well over 2,000 truck drivers across the nation.  Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

“Best Drivers is the ideal acquisition for TransForce,” said David Broome, CEO of TransForce. “Best and TransForce drivers share a well-earned reputation for quality.  Both companies have worked hard to install the processes and controls to ensure that our truck drivers meet and exceed Federal standards.  In addition, both Best and TransForce take great pride in our customer service.  We stay in constant contact with our customers to prevent surprises.”
