US - TrueBlue buys driver staffing firm

June 13, 2013

TrueBlue Inc. (NYSE: TBI) acquired Crowley Transportation Services (CTS), a temporary driver staffing company serving New England. CTS joins TrueBlue’s Centerline brand, which provides commercial drivers to the transportation industry.

“We’re excited about the growth prospects for truck drivers and the opportunity to expand to this new geographic market,” said TrueBlue CEO Steve Cooper. Cooper added that he sees more acquisitions in TrueBlue’s future.

Centerline just added 10 new locations in 10 months. This month, it opened new offices in Tempe, Ariz., and Houston.

TrueBlue, a Tacoma, Wash.-based industrial staffing provider, ranks 13th on Staffing Industry Analysts’ list of largest U.S. staffing firms.
