SHENZHEN, China, March 1, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- MingZhu Logistics Holdings Limited ("MingZhu" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: YGMZ), a leading trucking service provider, announced a major cooperation agreement with Sinotrans Logistics Limited's wholly owned subsidiary, China Merchants Logistics Group Urumqi Limited ("China Merchants").  The cooperation agreement is designed to provide an exclusive, crucial link between the first and last mile between slack coal mines and essential railroads.
