TA Services Announces the Acquisition of Alabama based C2 Freight Resources

Acquisition positions TA Services for further expansion in Brokerage Services.

May 3, 2022—(Birmingham, AL) – TA Services, Inc., a premier full-service logistics provider and division of PS Logistics, announced today it has completed the acquisition of Houston, Alabama-based C2 Freight Resources, a high-end brokerage specializing in dry van, flatbed, temperature controlled, expedited and LTL services. The acquisition of C2 Freight Resources is part of TA Services’ commitment to continued brokerage growth and expanded services for new and existing customers. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

C2 Freight Resources was founded in 1998 by Jeff Gunnin and John Cunningham to bring third-party efficiencies to shippers across North America. Their customer base includes Fortune 500 companies in industries ranging from building materials, paper, and animal products to food and beverage, packaging, and consumer goods. C2 has been recognized for its top-tier service with awards including the NASTC Broker of the Year.

“C2’s strong culture and focus on operational excellence meshes well with that of TA Services. We share the value of developing long-lasting relationships with both shippers and carriers and this acquisition will be additive to the company’s vision and ability to continue providing top level service across the board,” said Scott Schell, CEO & President of TA Services. “C2 has incredible employees who will fit into the TA Services culture seamlessly.” The acquisition accelerates TA Services’ growth to over $600 million in revenue, 750 employees, and over 23 global locations, spanning from Monterrey, Mexico to Toronto, Canada.

“TA Services’ leadership is strong, and I don’t think anyone does a better job than TA Services when it comes to customer and carrier relationship development,” said Jeff Gunnin, President and co-founder of C2 Freight Resources. “They treat carriers fairly and put a tremendous emphasis on customer service, which means a lot to us. We are excited for the opportunity to unite our people, our carriers, and our customers with TA Services, as a result of this acquisition.”

The acquisition of C2 Freight Resources is another example of recent strategic developments in TA Services’ business, building on the acquisition of Scout Logistics in August 2021, Top Gun Freight in November 2020, the merger with Sellers Logistics in February 2020, and the acquisition of certain assets of Celadon Logistics in April 2019.
