Logistic Services Acquires Five Rivers

Logistic Services Inc. just pulled off a major win by acquiring Five Rivers Distribution, dramatically expanding its grip on the McClellan-Kerr Arkansas River Navigation System. With key terminals in Van Buren and Fort Smith that link barges, trains, and trucks, the deal bolsters Logistic Services’ ability to move farm goods and industrial materials — all while deepening its river network under Carrix. The integration of Five Rivers’ operations, staff, and facilities is set to supercharge customer service and service offerings, while a parallel $100M Port of Van Buren expansion (targeting completion by April 2027) promises to crank up barge capacity even further — a move that could reshape regional logistics for years to come.
