Jack Cooper, which operates the largest Teamster carhaul carrier, is aiming to get into the LTL freight industry by purchasing Standard Forwarding from DHL.

The IBT has notified members that DHL intends to sell it, and has agreed that the union contract will remain intact.

Jack Cooper is determined to break into the freight industry. Their attempt to acquire part of Yellow Freight was stymied by Yellow management, which preferred to sell of the carrier for parts and prevent any continued operation.
