On or about February 19, 2026, ACME Truck Line, Inc. (“ACME”) discovered that an unauthorized third party gained access to certain computer systems maintained by the company. According to the Important Security Notification sent to affected individuals, the incident involved a cyberattack exploiting vulnerabilities in third‑party security services and software used to protect ACME’s network.
ACME is a family-owned transportation company founded in 1960 and headquartered in Gretna, Louisiana. As an oilfield and heavy haul carrier in the U.S., it operates over 1,500 trucks across 50+ service markets nationwide.
Upon discovery, ACME acted promptly to contain the incident, engaged an independent forensic cybersecurity firm to investigate what occurred, and notified law enforcement, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation. ACME also initiated a comprehensive review of its cybersecurity environment and its third‑party vendor oversight practices.
Following the investigation, ACME determined that personal information belonging to individuals who worked with ACME may have been accessed or acquired during the incident. Notification letters dated April 30, 2026, were sent to impacted individuals after ACME completed its forensic review and identified those whose data may have been affected.
As part of its response, ACME reported implementing additional safeguards designed to strengthen its security posture and reduce the risk of similar incidents in the future. These measures include enhanced endpoint detection and response tools, improved network firewalls, mandatory multi‑factor authentication, expanded password policies, increased vendor oversight protocols, and third‑party testing to identify system vulnerabilities.
ACME also stated it is offering complimentary credit monitoring, identity theft protection, and fraud resolution services for 24 months through Cyberscout, a TransUnion company, to affected individuals who enroll by the deadline provided in their notification letter.
At the time of notification, the company did not indicate that confirmed identity theft or fraud had occurred as a direct result of the incident. However, ACME acknowledged that sensitive personal information may have been exposed and encouraged recipients to remain vigilant.
If you received a security notification from ACME Truck Line, Inc., it confirms that your personal information may have been impacted by this cybersecurity incident.

Companies that collect and store sensitive personal and employment‑related information have a responsibility to take reasonable measures to protect that data from unauthorized access. When a failure in security safeguards results in a data breach, affected individuals may have legal rights, which vary by state and depend on the nature of the exposed information and the circumstances surrounding the incident.
