Mark-it Express Logistics LLC (“Mark-It”), a leading Midwest intermodal trucking and freight brokerage company, announced today that it has acquired the operating assets of Clean Car Connexion, Inc. (“Clean Car”) based in Joliet, Illinois. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.

Clean Car has built a business dedicated to providing outstanding transportation services in a safe, efficient, and reliable manner. 

Chad Fiala, President of Clean Car, considered Mark-It to be an ideal strategic fit for his business as the two companies share many similar values and Mark-It’s full suite of transportation solutions provides significant growth avenues for Clean Car’s customer base. Mr. Fiala will remain with Mark-It in an on-going role. 

Mark-It, founded in 2009, offers a full array of third-party logistics and intermodal logistics solutions, including local and regional drayage and yard services. The Company operates three terminals in Lemont, Illinois, Detroit Michigan, and Kansas City, Kansas.
