Dallas: Greatwide Logistics Services announced that it has acquired Wytheville, VA, based Camrett Inc and related companies.

Camrett provides dedicated contract carriage services to top-name clients including The Kroger Co., Pepsi Bottling Group and Gatorade.

Camrett will be integrated into Greatwide’s Dedicated Transport business unit, which is the largest of Greatwide’s business units and the second largest dedicated contract carriage provider in the U.S.

“The acquisition of Camrett allows us to advance our dedicated contract carriage leadership position in the grocery and food markets,” says Ray Greer, CEO of Greatwide Logistics Services. “It also allows us to expand geographically, while simultaneously increasing our operational and market density in the Southeast.”

Camrett has approximately 90 company drivers, operates a fleet of approximately 80 tractors and in 2007, generated approximately $16.5 million in revenue.

“We were attracted to Greatwide because of its reputation as one of the industry’s most respected dedicated grocery carriers in the United States and because of its fit with our culture and our customers” says Collin Peel, president and co-founder of Camrett. “In most cases, Greatwide’s existing dedicated operations are located near our customers’ distribution centers which will allow us to better serve our customers and grow faster than either of us could have done separately.”
