Gallop Logistics joins the Greatwide family

Gallop becomes part of Dallas-based transportation and third party logistics provider that boasts more than US$1 billion in revenues and is one of NA's Top 10 largest providers of non-asset-based transportation and third party logistics

To our valued customer:

In case you haven’t already heard, we’d like to share some great news with you: Gallop Logistics is now part of Greatwide Logistics Services – a Dallas-based provider of non-asset-based transportation and third party logistics with more than US$1 billion in annual revenues. We’ve gone from great to even greater!

Being part of an organization that has been named Target’s Carrier of the Year and is ranked #18 on the Transport Topics Top 50 means Gallop can now provide you, our valued customer, with enhanced and expanded services. Greatwide has an exclusive network of 5,300 owner operators, controls 7,300 trailers in 48 states, and operates more than 3.1 million square feet of warehouse and distribution space. It is Wal-Mart’s largest provider of grocery transport services.

I realize that our merger with Greatwide may cause some of you to wonder about the future of the company and the wonderful people who make up the Gallop team. But rest assured that while Gallop is now part of a much larger organization, all else will remain unchanged. Adam Polan, Manny Dinis and I will be here, as we have always been, to lead and manage Gallop as it continues on its phenomenally successful journey.

You can also expect to have your needs served by the same great people you’ve worked with over the years. In other words, we’re not going anywhere. We are all going to be here at Gallop, working harder than ever to ensure your products get to their destination quickly and securely. And the unique corporate culture and management approach that earned Gallop a place as one of Canada’s 50 Best Managed Companies in 2005 will continue to flourish. What's different is that we now have access to a significantly expanded pool of resources, allowing us to offer you more and better services

Our decision to join forces with Greatwide represents a tremendous opportunity for our customers, carriers and employees. As we embark on our next stage of growth, all of us at Gallop are filled with excitement and unbounded optimism. And we all look forward to continuing to serve you as we have in the past, except even better.

Sincerely,

Lorne Swartz
Director of Operations
Gallop Logistics
