    Ok in the last 2 months I have seen 4 trailers that say "WSE and MCT" plus I have seen I don't know how many trucks from both sides pulling the others. Now I know that both are owned by CCC out of Florida. But they have been run as two different companies. WSE having mostly company trucks with a few L/O and MCT as a wholly O/O company. Whats up now? Has CCC decide to join them as one company? Inquiring minds want to know:biggrin_2556:

    Ok, so in a nut shell what they are saying is that in the next 1-3 years they will merge as one company and one of them (mct is my bet) will cease to exist.

    Comcar is a holding company. The bought WSE and then years later MCT. They've had some further integration in the last few years, specifically trailer pools and some of their operations functions, but both have been owned by Comcar for a lot of years. I don't think you'll see them merge as one company at any time in the foreseeable future. (MCT was my first OTR company many moons ago and I still have some friends there)

    I use to work for WSE and over all they where a good company. But any time you "Aline" two companies together and put one person in charge of both. It's only a matter of time before they become the same company. Knight and Knight Refrigerated are two different companies. But we all know that they are run as one. Crete and Shaffer are two different companies but they are run as one by Crete.

    Here's a list of the companies Comcar owns. They've owned both MCT and WSE for over 10 years, so the probability of them becoming one single entity is, IMO, slight.


    Coastal Transport - Savannah, GA
    Founded in 1939, Coastal joined the Comcar family in 1986 and is Comcar's primary flatbed carrier. Coastal currently operates from nine terminal facilities throughout the Southeastern U.S. and operates from Texas to Chicago and all points east.
    Comcar Logistics, Inc. - Auburndale, FL
    Comcar's newest company, Comcar Logistics, Inc., utilizes the Comcar network of companies to ensure our customers' products arrive on time and for the right cost. Services include dedicated fleets, continuous movements, scheduling and plan development, mode and carrier distribution, plan development, material handling and storage, EDI services, and comprehensive management reporting.

    Commercial Carrier Corporation - Auburndale, FL
    Specializes in short-haul appointment deliveries in various commodities. Approximately 65% of CCC's revenue is derived from transporting construction materials. Company culture follows the discipline of Customer Intimacy. CCC cultivates relationships and delivers what the customer wants. An impressive leadership team, strong customer relations, and a capacity to handle high volumes are just some of CCC's strengths.

    Commercial Warehousing - Auburndale, FL
    Commercial Warehousing opened its first warehouse in 1966, and has been offering its customers the finest mix of service and convenience ever since. As one of the largest warehousing operations in the Southeast, Commercial Warehousing has 1,325,000 of available square footage. Currently, buildings range from 20,000 to 150,000 square feet, and can be leased or run as a public warehouse.
    Commercial Truck &Trailer Sales - Central FL
    With three large locations, Commercial Truck & Trailer Sales' primary goal is to continue growing as the trucking industry demands and provide the best service at the best price. In addition to its impressive parts department that boasts "If we don't have it you can't find it", two mobile repair units are available 24 hours per day, every day, equipped to handle any type of emergency. An authorized warranty repair center for 16 manufacturers, CTTS will work on vans, reefers, flats, dropdecks, dumps, tanks, and grain trailers.

    CTL Distribution, Inc. - Mulberry, FL
    Founded in 1964, CTL Distribution, Inc. began as a bulk carrier primarily servicing the Central Florida phosphate industry. Today, CTL is the dominate carrier for the local phosphate and fertilizer industry. CTL joined the Comcar family in 1985, and is now a significant player in the nationwide chemical hauling business servicing the 48 contiguous states. It quickly established itself as a quality service company in the general chemical transportation industry.
    MD Transport Systems - Auburndale, FL
    Founded in 1965 in NY, MD Transport initially made its living hauling swinging beef. Later it started hauling citrus from NY to FL for Tropicana (which remains a valued customer) and eventually relocated to Palmetto, FL. In December 1984, MD Transport became a valued member of the Comcar team and moved its operations to Auburndale in October 1985. The primary commodities hauled by MDT include department store merchandise, paper products, beverages, and dry food products. Customers include Wal-Mart and Anheuser Busch.
    Midwest Coast Transport - Sioux Falls, SD
    MCT is primarily a high service, 48-state, full truckload carrier of general commodities, both dry goods and products requiring protective services. MCT also offers specialty, dedicated, regional, and logistics services. Their fleet of 1,000 power units is compromised entirely of independent contractors, from those who drive their own truck to fleet operators who employ drivers in both solo and team operations.

    Super Cool offers 12,757,000 cubic feet of very cold space to accommodate the area's perishable food and citrus companies. Super Cool has the space, technology, and experience to keep your products as cold as they need to be.
