Ridgeline inSpringfield.

Our Springfield operating company is the largest of the Phase 1 acquisitions and the platform's southwest Missouri anchor. The terminal serves a service territory that mixes metro density with broad rural coverage — exactly the kind of operation where consistent execution and driver retention compound year over year.
We retain the existing operation as it runs today. Drivers continue on their routes, the terminal manager continues in their seat, and the relationships with FedEx terminal staff continue uninterrupted. The platform layer adds the bonus structure, fleet capital discipline, and HR infrastructure that lets the operation grow without burning out its people.
- ·All 24 routes operated as acquired — no consolidation, no route cuts.
- ·Existing manager continues to lead the terminal, with platform-level support.
- ·Driver bonus program rolls out at the Springfield terminal within Q1 post-close.
- ·Vehicle fleet placed on a documented preventive maintenance schedule.
