The La Cañada Flintridge, Calif.-based Allen Lund Co. has announced the acquisition of Magic Valley Truck Brokers, Inc., Boise, Idaho.

“My parents always said, don’t work just for today, work hard for tomorrow and think long-term then you will always have a job and a good name,” Wes Blaser president of Magic Valley Truck Brokers, Inc., said in a news release. “So, when Allen Lund Company, Eddie, and David approached us this seemed like a perfect fit.”

Tracey Lewin, vice president of sales and operations for the Allen Lund Co., said the acquisition is a good fit. “From the moment I walked in the door to greet the Boise team for the first time, I knew instantly that we had made a great decision,” Lewin said in the release. “From their company culture to their work ethic and grit, to their customer and carrier mix, their operation, and their family at the root of it all, we line up so well and share so much in common. I’m proud to call Magic Valley Truck Brokers our newest Allen Lund Company office, and I’m so excited to see what the future brings.”
