OL&T says the CMI acquisition bolsters its existing intermodal network of containers and ISO tanks while its trucking services handle drayage and deliveries to railroads and various termination points.
“Bringing CMI into the OL&T family is a significant win for our clients and Odyssey’s continued expansion across different verticals within the North American Free Trade Agreement region,” said Bob Shellman, president and CEO of OL&T.
