ST. LOUIS -

Auto logistics services provider MetroGistics announced today that it has formed strategic partnerships with Precision Motor Transport Group and McNutt Automotive Logistics.

The company said in its announcement that the combined entities will provide a full range of logistics and asset-based transportation solutions to the full spectrum of customer segments.

That includes automakers, the used-car market, new- and used-car dealerships, remarketing companies, auctions and the personal automotive markets on an “asset-medium” platform.

Okemos, Mich.-based PMTG is an asset-heavy car haul company offering premium auto delivery services via 300 enclosed and open company-owned trucks, while Lowry City, Mo.-based McNutt is an asset-light logistics provider specializing in less-than-truckload auto logistics services.

Through these partnerships, the combined customer base of MetroGistics, PMTG and McNutt will be offered “a very high level of transportation flexibility and services,” MetroGistics said in its statement.

William Billiter and Scott Naz remain at the helm of MetroGistics as managing partners.

“Having the opportunity to work closely with the management teams at PMTG and McNutt to drive the combined asset-medium platform to greater heights is a very exciting strategic move for everyone,” said Naz. “Being able to combine the best in logistics with 300 company-owned PMTG trucks really expands our operational reach and product offerings to strategic clients on a national basis.”

PMTG chief operating officer Dallas Knepp said: “We are very excited about working with the MetroGistics team and their professional blend of technology and logistics services to reduce lead times with our customers and empty miles on our trucks. Their suite of industry-leading technology products will also further enhance our product offerings to customers and will continue to drive our combined platform forward.”
