KAG converts energy services customer’s private fleet

Kenan Advantage Group recently completed the private-fleet conversion of “an existing global energy services customer.” The transition adds three new markets—Kansas City, Missouri; and Pueblo and Alamosa, Colorado—to the KAG Energy division, the carrier reported.

“We’re thankful for the trust placed in us to manage our partner’s transportation needs and for the opportunity to combine our strengths, expand our capabilities, and create even greater value for the customers we serve,” Jason Platt, KAG Energy executive vice president, said in a news release.

As part of the conversion, about 80 professionals joined the KAG team, the company added. This is the first reported conversion since KAG transitioned Koppers Performance Chemicals’ private fleet in late 2023. But the carrier has been converting private fleets since at least 2009.

KAG’s Private Fleet Conversion program allows companies to seamlessly transition out of owning and managing their own fleets while maintaining service continuity, improving operational costs, and gaining resource capacity, KAG stated. “This partnership demonstrates KAG’s continued growth with existing customers, allowing them to focus on their core business competencies, while trusting KAG to manage their transportation operations and provide scalable transportation solutions across diversified supply chain markets,” the company concluded.
