Jan 06, 2022

NT Logistics, Inc., a transportation management and logistics service company, announces it has acquired certain assets of Navigator Direct, Inc., a freight logistics service company based in Billings, Montana. Terms of the asset sale transaction were not disclosed.

“We’re constantly seeking ways to add value for shippers and carriers, so expanding our footprint within the flatbeds and step deck space is a natural progression,” shares Lynn Gravley, President & CEO for NT Logistics. “Our technology platform is built to help shippers scale by optimizing routes for both speed and cost and to offer carriers a consistent, streamlined channel for freight loads. Given today’s constraints across the supply chain, it’s more imperative than ever to leverage technology to both survive and thrive. We’re eager to welcome those customers from Navigator Direct to our company and platform.”

Founded by Bob MacGrady in 2001, Navigator Direct specializes in freight necessitating flatbeds and step decks to serve shippers and carriers in the continental US, Alaska, and Canada. The company manages movement of a wide range of commodities including light heavy haul, van, dry bulk pneumatic, and over-dimensional loads. As part of the agreement, MacGrady will continue to work with NT Logistics.

“Having known Lynn and the folks at NT Logistics, and since we both have over two decades of serving the industry, I could think of no better company to serve our customers and carriers. We both strongly believe in service and relationships,” notes MacGrady.
