RoadLink Continues Shopping Spree
Just days after Atlanta based RoadLink acquired C-Truck from Hapag Lloyd, the company has again gone shopping, this time acquiring American Freight Systems.
Its third acquisition of its type this year, RoadLink’s purchase of American Freight Systems is, according to the company, aimed at bolstering RoadLink’s position as a “leading provider of intermodal transportation and specialized warehousing services in North America.”
Based in Vancouver, Washington 
State, American Freight Systems provides road transport between the ports of Seattle, Tacoma and Portland as well as to a shippers final destination. American Freight Systems founder, John Rogers, welcomed the acquisition by Roadlink, saying that “our staff is excited about joining the RoadLink team and they know they can add immediate value to their regional services.”
Rogers also said that existing American Freight Systems customers should see immediate benefits from the deal with the company, after a short transition period, implementing RoadLink’s TrueVision operating technology, which can provide customers with visibility of their freight from their inbound cargo ships all the way to the floor of their operating facility.
President and Chief Executive Office of RoadLink, Chris Munro also remarked that the presence of American Freight Systems in the Pacific Northwest region, along with RoadLink’s North American infrastructure, will provide a strategic advantage for the company’s customers.
Upon completion of the transaction, American Freight Systems will be re-branded as RoadLink to reflect the acquisition.
