They opened offices in Oklahoma City, Lawton, and Tulsa, Oklahoma.[4] Name change and further expansionThe shipping company took on its present-day image on May 15, 2013. Lone Star Overnight officially became LSO and introduced a new logo and tagline, “It’s all in the delivery.”[5] In the same year, LSO announced a partnership with Postmaster, an Austin-based startup that aims to simplify shipping and tracking.[6] LSO expanded further in 2015 when they acquired Express Courier International, expanding their reach to 7 states across the southeast and southwest.[7] With the acquisition, they officially expanded into Louisiana in May 2015.[8] In 2016, LSO formally announced their official expansion into major markets in Tennessee, Alabama, and Arkansas.[9] They were able to do so with their acquisition of Express Courier International, which became known as LSO Final Mile.
