SARASOTA, FL--(Marketwire - February 16, 2011) - Integrated Freight Corporation (http://www.integrated-freight.com) (
The eight minute interview covered the current state of the trucking industry, Integrated Freight's rollup strategy, the present state of the Company, and where IFCR and the rest of America's trucking firms are headed over the next 12 to 24 months. At the outset of the discussion, IFCR's CEO Paul Henley related that 2007 to 2009 was a difficult time for the United States trucking industry and that while the "rest of the economy was in a recession, the freight business was in a depression." Henley then referenced industry experts who have stated that "up to 16-17 % of the overall capacity of freight by truck in America is gone." He further outlined Integrated's goal to "find the companies that were survivors, that were able to thrive and to and come together to make a bigger stronger company." He explained that this situation has allowed IFCR to make three strong acquisitions thus far with an additional three companies under LOI. The company's plans are augmented by its high-tech approach to control everything from GPS tracking its trucks to remotely controlling the temperature within the refrigeration units. Another key point made by Henley that is contributing to the company's bottom line is the savings inherent in the economies of scale in fuel and insurance, which he believes will only get better with the next round of acquisitions.
