Alta Fox

Investment firm Alta Fox has joined some of Forward Air’s other investors that are calling on the expedited trucking company to consider a sale following its controversial acquisition of Omni Logistics.

Flatbed carrier Daseke said Friday it would repurchase $40 million in stock, following an April request from an activist investor to do so.

Flatbed truck operator Daseke is being told it should buy back its own stock in light of recent declines in its price.
