Commodities it hauls include clay, sand and non-hazmat oils. It also runs a brokerage under the name DSS Logistics.

“In acquiring Doyle Sims & Sons Trucking, we are not just adding another company to our portfolio; we are integrating three quarters of a century’s worth of experience, knowledge, and legacy into the Trimac family,” said Trimac president and CEO, Matt Faure.
