In 1967 it merged with Thomas Nationwide Transport to form TNT-Alltrans.[5][6] By this stage it operated 500 trucks and had a presence in New Zealand.[2][7]

The Alltrans name continued to be used when in 1969 Walkup's Merchants Express in the United States was purchased by TNT-Alltrans and renamed Alltrans Express.[8] In 1983 TNT named a ship TNT Alltrans.[9][10]
