The merger of Bourque Logistics and AllTranstek in January 2025, fueled by a strategic investment of over $100 million from Sixth Street, has established a dominant, unified force in the rail logistics and asset management sector. Based in The Woodlands, Texas, the combined entity leverages decades of expertise—with Steve Bourque and Jeff Wilson continuing their leadership—to provide an exhaustive suite of services tailored for rail shippers and maintenance providers.

By integrating their specialized capabilities, the company offers a "cradle-to-grave" approach to railcar management. Their expanded service portfolio includes comprehensive fleet management, technical railcar inspections, and regulatory compliance oversight. On the technology side, they provide sophisticated software solutions for automated shipment tracking, freight payment orchestration, and tank car maintenance scheduling. Furthermore, the partnership enhances their ability to offer strategic consulting and mechanical services, such as engineering support and fleet health monitoring. This synergy allows clients to streamline complex supply chains through a single, digitized ecosystem, effectively bridging the gap between physical asset maintenance and real-time logistics data. With the backing of Sixth Street’s capital, the merged company is positioned to aggressively innovate, ensuring that rail shippers have access to the most advanced tools for optimizing fleet utilization and reducing operational costs.
