Leonard Lewensohn, C.E.O. of PTA Holdings, stated; "ATL will deal with other intermodal 3PL's, freight brokers and trucking companies. ATL will acquire over-the-road freight brokers and intermodal rail brokers that will accelerate the growth of the company and enable the development of enough freight volume to negotiate and hold direct railroad contracts. The initial focus of ATL will be centered on the dynamic 300 miles freight base that surrounds Chicago as a Hub. In addition to opening a location in Chicago, ATL proposes to open additional offices in Los Angeles and St. Louis. ATL gives us the flexibility to continue rapid growth."
