A pair of trucking companies that provide transportation services for the tours of major artists like Taylor Swift and Jelly Roll were acquired by Dreamliner to create “the largest provider of entertainer coaches and trucking services in the world.”
On October 14, Nashville-based Dreamliner announced the acquisition of events logistics companies Denver-based Shomotion and Nashville-based Show Pro.
Dreamliner provides luxury travel coaches for the events transportation and logistics industry.
The acquisition includes Shomotion’s five-acre Denver facility and Show Pro’s three-acre Nashville facility and adds 70 trucks and 220 trailers to the Dreamliner fleet.
Dreamliner plans to retain all 65 full-time Shomotion and Show Pro employees and will add the founders of both companies to the Dreamliner executive team.
“This merger is a historic milestone in the entertainment logistics sector,” says Shomotion Founder and CEO Michael Scherkenbach, who will continue to lead the Denver transportation services division. “The combined company will have the scale, breadth, and capabilities to provide unparalleled ground transportation solutions tailored to the entertainment touring industry.”
“These are two companies that our team at Show Pro has either worked directly with or alongside, allowing us to build immense trust and respect in what we all have built and can achieve,” shares Show Pro’s Co-Founder & Owner Kat Stiller. “When looking at the future, we know Dreamliner has the capabilities and passion in the industry to bring our combined companies to new heights.”
“Since Dreamliner’s inception, our team, including drivers, mechanics, custom builders and office staff have all been a critical differentiator in how we operate and provide an unmatched service,” says Rich Thomson, Dreamliner Founder and CEO. “Following these acquisitions, our team is benefitting from over 50 years of combined experience from Shomotion and Show Pro’s industry leaders. By adding Mike, Curtis and Kat’s experience to our best in class coaches and services, we will bring a full one-stop solution to all touring transportation needs.”
Dreamliner expects to see “an immediate revenue increase of over 40% in 2025.”
Showmotion’s clients include Guns N’ Roses, Metallica, Taylor Swift , Coldplay, and Elton John.
Show Pro’s client list includes Jelly Roll, SZA, 21 Savage, and The Kid Laro.
