Pallet Logistics of America acquires Pal-Serv

Addition of Pal-Serv's four owned-and-operated pallet management facilities expands Pallet Logistics of America's asset-based footprint, strengthens nationwide service capabilities.

"Their expansive brokerage network reflects the strength of their industry relationships and national coverage. I'm delighted to welcome the Pal-Serv team to the PLA family of companies."

Wade Glisson, Partner at Silver Oak, added, "We are excited to partner with such an experienced and reputable team at Pal-Serv.
