3PDelivery , a national logistics services provider, and General Transportation Services Inc., the country's third-largest provider of home delivery services to retailers, have merged to become what they say is the supply chain industry's largest last-mile logistics and delivery provider.

The new company, which will continue to do business under the 3PDelivery and GTS names, features a fleet of 1,100 trucks and 1,200 drivers operating in 45 states.

"Combining 3PDelivery and GTS creates a clear leader in the last-mile delivery sector, especially home delivery of heavy goods," says 3PDelivery Chairman and CEO Karl Meyer. "By nearly doubling our individual companies' size and scope, we now have the scale, geographic reach and depth of logistics knowledge to service large national accounts and compete with any player out there."
