While our first order of priority is and will continue to be providing high quality service to both our freight forwarder customers and our valued 41 carriers, we also expect to add new locations and service offerings in the future".

We undertook a deliberate process to align ourselves with the right partner to allow the Company to execute on its longer-term growth objectives. We have found just that with Chris and his group of investors".
