Hyway Transportation Acquires Koleaseco, Inc.

Employee-owned acquisition holding company OneCompass Holdings acquired dry van and temperature-controlled carrier Koleaseco, Inc. Hudsonville, Michigan-based Koleaseco is listed with 128 power units and 148 drivers, according to the FMCSA’s database. The company also has a full-service brokerage offering for shippers in the U.S. and Canada. OneCompass will roll the assets of Koleaseco under another one of its portfolio companies, Dublin, Ohio-based Hyway Transportation. Once the deal closes, Koleaseco will operate under the Hyway Trucking banner.

“We’re excited to welcome the employees and customers of Koleaseco to the OneCompass family and the Hyway Transportation platform, said OneCompass Chairman and CEO Matt Hartman in a news release. “Their team and capabilities are a great addition to the Hyway network and will play a key role in speeding up our shared vision for national growth. We’re especially pleased to integrate their people into our employee ownership model, where they can help shape the future and share in the success they contribute to.”

The combination will allow both fleets to better compete on a national scale. Hyway is also an asset-based carrier that specializes in dry van and temperature- controlled freight. It is listed with 130 power units. Hyway is a subsidiary of FST Logistics, another OneCompass portfolio company. “I’m confident this transition will create meaningful opportunities for our team and carry forward the legacy of service and integrity that has defined Koleaseco for more than 30 years,” said JP Koop, owner of Koleaseco. Tenney Group served as the sell-side advisor for Koleaseco.
