PS Logistics, one of the largest privately held transportation and logistics companies in the United States, announced that its subsidiary Blair Logistics has acquired Fluker Transportation. Fluker is a founder-owned trucking company that specializes in flatbed and heavy-haul shipping. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
A Complementary Match
Headquartered in Hammond, Louisiana, Fluker Transportation was founded in 2011 by James Watson. The fleet primarily hauls steel, construction equipment, and military defense related freight across the southeastern United States.
Fluker’s freight mix and geographic coverage are highly complementary to Blair’s, according to the company. As such, the acquisition is expected to provide immediate opportunities to realize operational synergies.
Fluker will operate under Blair Logistics’ name going forward.
“Fluker has continued to grow in a broadly challenged freight market, which is a testament to the company’s commitment to its drivers and service to its customers," said Scott Smith, chief executive officer and co-founder of PS Logistics.
"Fluker aligns nicely with our desire to partner with founder- or family-owned trucking companies that put their drivers first, and PS Logistics is looking forward to the growth opportunities that will result from this acquisition.”
James Watson, the founder and co-owner of Fluker Transportation, predicted that Blair and the broader PS Logistics network are going to be great partners.

"Throughout the process of working with them, it became evident that they are committed to the drivers’ success, and I’m excited that Fluker will now be a part of a larger organization that will provide greater freight choices to our drivers and more capacity to our customers and bring operational expertise to the business.”

The transaction continues PS Logistics’ acquisition strategy of partnering with families and quality owners within the transportation and logistics industry. Since 2016, Alabama-based PS Logistics has acquired 27 trucking operations and five non-asset logistics operations across the United States.
