# ADL Final Mile

Omaha, Nebraska. A final-mile delivery platform buying regional courier and customized-logistics companies to densify a national network, backed by a private equity sponsor that hosts each of its releases.

## The Firm

ADL has bought four regional couriers in under three years, each one a local or multi-state final-mile operator: Sonic Systems in Florida, Henry Industries across the Midwest and South-Central, DMC Logistics through six southwestern states, and Xcel Delivery Services in Arizona.

The pattern is the one a courier owner should understand before selling. The platform is buying route density rather than trucks, so the value it pays for is the account list and the driver network in a geography it wants, which is a different valuation than a fleet appraisal produces.

Its own site carries no newsroom, so every release is hosted by its sponsor. That is a sourcing quirk rather than a weakness in the evidence: the releases are ADL's own words on a page its backer publishes.

Read again in September 2026: nothing since Xcel on the sponsor's press page, whose newest items are a staffing purchase in June 2026. The platform's own site has no news page, and its about page dates each purchase a month or two before the release, the closing month and not the announcement.

## Confirmed Deals

Deals traced to announcements, newest first. Firms that announce every deal show a fuller run here than firms that report acquisitions as quarterly counts, so read this as the evidence that clears the bar rather than as the firm's whole record.
