Ashford, Alabama-based AMX Trucking is adding flatbed specialized division to its fleet services, which include dry van, refrigerated, drayage, tanker, and intermodal.
The additional service comes from organic growth within the company itself rather than via acquisition, said Executive Vice President Nina Eiland, who noted the company experienced high demand for qualified flatbed carriers based on the number of specialized companies it currently serves within its logistics operations.

The addition of specialty flatbed services to the now 217-truck company "will enhance our ability to meet diverse customer needs with increased flexibility and efficiency," said Collins White, co-owner, president and COO.
