IntelliTrans, already the leader in commercial and military railcar tracking monitoring over 100,000 railcars per day in North America, will expand its business through the acquisition.   The expansion will result in increased volume of railcars tracked and managed, and also will expand the IntelliTrans market presence within the chemical industries.

Richard M. Gerstein, CEO of IntelliTrans said “Joseph Transportation was one of the premier fleet management and tracking service providers to the chemical industry with customers including BP Amoco, FMC Corporation, Chemconnect, Owens Corning and many more.  We’ve found their attention to detail and their philosophies regarding customer care to be very similar to our own.  To continue this excellent service, IntelliTrans will retain much of the Joseph Transportation staff, and will open an office in Cincinnati. This will provide our new customers with a seamless transition that will be backed by our fleet management experts and technology in Atlanta, Philadelphia, and throughout the US.”

Mark Schaefer, Vice President of Logistics Services  for Joseph Transportation stated “We felt that our customers would be best served by IntelliTrans because of their strong market presence and commitment to fleet management and tracking services.   We could not help but notice that IntelliTrans had the same commitment to excellence as Joseph Transportation.”
