RoadOne IntermodaLogistics has completed the acquisition of Higgins Transport Service, a company specializing in drayage and intermodal services. This strategic move is designed to significantly increase RoadOne's capacity and operational footprint within the Charleston, South Carolina market.
For freight forwarders and operations managers, this acquisition signals a potential increase in drayage capacity and improved service reliability for shipments moving through the Port of Charleston. Enhanced local infrastructure and expanded fleet availability from a major player like RoadOne could lead to more efficient container movements, potentially reducing wait times and improving overall supply chain fluidity in the region. This could also offer more competitive options for inland transportation from the port.
