‘A real foothold in the Southeast’: Behnke Dedicated & Logistics buys AG Freight
The Michigan-based 3PL’s CEO said the purchase of a truckload, LTL and drayage service provider expands the company’s market reach, giving access to a manufacturing hub and inland port.
Behnke Dedicated & Logistics has acquired AG Freight for an undisclosed amount, expanding its operations in the Southeast region. The acquisition, announced by Calder Capital representing Behnke Logistics, positions the Michigan-based firm with a base near South Carolina's Inland Port Greer. AG Freight specializes in full truckload, less-than-truckload, expedited, and drayage transportation services.
Behnke Logistics CEO Ben Behnke emphasized that AG Freight provides a strong foothold in the Southeast market, complementing the company's long-standing Midwest operations. Behnke Logistics, based in Battle Creek, Michigan, offers dedicated and over-the-road transportation services across the Midwest, along with warehousing and distribution services.
The deal underscores the trend of regional carriers expanding their reach through strategic acquisitions. It demonstrates how Behnke Logistics can secure a vital logistics hub like Inland Port Greer without starting operations from the ground up.
