East Coast Warehouse absorbs Allied Brothers assets
East Coast Warehouse & Distribution, a temperature-controlled logistics provider to the food and beverage industry, recently acquired the assets of Allied Brothers Intermodal through its sister company, Safeway Trucking.
Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
Allied is a full-service drayage provider serving the Northeast region of the United States for over 45 years. Its trucking operation accommodates local and long-haul drayage capabilities with service to and from the ports of New York and New Jersey, as well as local rail ramps. Its customer base aligns with that of Safeway, focusing on food and beverage, candy and confectionery, and retail verticals.
“The acquisition of Allied will strengthen and increase Safeway’s overall driver capacity at a time when driver recruitment and retention is a top priority,” Jamie Overley, East Coast Warehouse CEO, said in a news release. “Their service offering and footprint dovetails with that of our organization. We are confident the combination of our companies will benefit our customers.”
Safeway is one of the nation’s largest container drayage providers, offering fast and cost-effective drayage, full truckload, less-than-truckload, transportation management, and final mile delivery services across the contiguous United States.
