BlueGrace Logistics Expands Its Portfolio With Truk TMS Acquisition
BlueGrace Logistics has announced the acquisition of Truk TMS, broadening its managed transportation technology offerings.
BlueGrace Logistics, a US-based third-party logistics provider, has announced the acquisition of Truk TMS, a transportation management software company. The deal is intended to strengthen BlueGrace's technology stack and broaden the range of managed transportation services it offers to shippers.
Why Truk TMS matters
Truk TMS provides a cloud-based transportation management platform used by shippers to plan, execute, and settle freight movements. By bringing the software in-house, BlueGrace Logistics aims to give its customers tighter integration between managed transportation services and the underlying technology that powers routing, carrier selection, and freight audit.
What the deal could mean for customers
- Deeper automation across quoting, booking, and tracking workflows
- More visibility into freight spend and carrier performance
- A single provider for both managed services and TMS technology
BlueGrace has positioned itself in recent years as a tech-enabled 3PL, and the addition of Truk TMS fits that direction. The companies have not publicly disclosed the financial terms of the transaction, and no timeline was given for when Truk TMS operations will be fully folded into BlueGrace.
Broader context
The acquisition follows a series of similar moves across the logistics industry, where established 3PLs have bought TMS specialists to capture more value from digital freight management. Comparable transactions, such as CMA CGM's agreement to acquire a FedEx logistics unit for $1.4 billion, show how carriers and forwarders are converging around integrated service-and-software models. BlueGrace's growing profile has also been highlighted through recognitions such as Atlanta Bonded Warehouse's placement on Inbound Logistics' Top 100 3PL providers for 2026, underscoring the competitive market in which these technology deals are now unfolding.
