Quality Carriers Expands Into Kentucky Market
February 06 2015 - 9:07AM
Quality Carriers, Inc. ("Quality Carriers"), the leading North
American bulk chemical carrier, has expanded into the Kimper,
Kentucky market.
"As the leading bulk carrier in North America, when one of our
customers asked us to consider affiliating a small bulk carrier
servicing their coal customers in Kentucky, we listened," commented
Randy Strutz, President, Quality Carriers. "We've partnered with SF
Transport Holdings, a family-owned bulk carrier, which services the
coal industry in Kentucky and West Virginia."
"As a small local carrier, the affiliation with Quality Carriers
made sense for us. This gives us access to their large trailer
fleet, a nationwide terminal network, and leading technology,"
stated Jim Slater, President, SF Transport Holdings. "As we want to
expand, Quality Carriers is enabling this by supporting our needs
for equipment and working capital."
"We continue to review other under-served markets and expect to
expand our footprint to serve our customers and increase our driver
capacity," continued Randy Strutz.
Quality Carriers, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Quality
Distribution, Inc. (Nasdaq:QLTY), operates the largest chemical
bulk logistics network in North America. Quality Carrier's network
of independent affiliates and independent owner-operators provides
nationwide bulk transportation and related services. Quality
Carriers is an American Chemistry Council Responsible Care® Partner
and is a core carrier for many of the Fortune 500 companies that
are engaged in chemical production and processing.
