Berkshire has actually acquired a 38.6% minority stake that will eventually see them become the majority shareholder in 2023 when they acquire an additional 41.4% equity stake. The Haslam family will retain a 20% ownership stake. The company sees around $20 billion in revenue and has over 26,000 employees.
In a statement, Buffett said that, "The company has a smart growth strategy in place and we look forward to a partnership that supports the trucking industry for years to come."
