In 2008, Don Daseke began expanding his operations with the purchase of Smokey Point Distributing (SPD),[2] which focuses in hauling large, cumbersome, aviation-related cargo.
[3] Two years later, in 2013, J. Grady Randolph (JGR), a four-generation, family-owned South Carolinian carrier joined Daseke.
[15][16] To end 2017 strong, December brought three more companies to the Daseke family - The Roadmaster Group, TSH & Co. and Moore Freight Service, Inc.
The Roadmaster Group is a family of specialized transportation companies who serve the high security market - MCF is a key contributor.
[19] Daseke acquired two additional companies in 2018, Aveda Transportation and Energy Service and Builders Transportation Co. Aveda is one of the largest providers of specialized transportation services and equipment required for the exploration, development and production of petroleum resources in the U.S. and Canada, and Builders Transportation Co. is a fleet of over 300 company trucks and 500 spread-axle trailers focused on traditional flatbed operations through the 48 contiguous states, hauling coil steel, wire products, structural and sheet steel, aluminum products, building materials, cast iron, steel pipe and machinery.
