Averitt Express added 73,150-square-feet of warehouse space in Georgia, North Carolina and Texas, as it joins other less-than-truckload carriers in expanding distribution capacity.
The Cookeville, Tenn-based company added 45,500-square-feet in Marietta, Ga.; 3,150-squre-feet in Greenville, N.C.; and 25,000-square-feet in McAllen, Texas. The latter, near border city Pharr, provides truckloading, consolidation and distribution, along with LTL and truckload transportation between U.S. and Mexico, Averitt said.
“With our customizable options, customers can receive the benefits of a warehousing partnership without a long-term contract,” said Rogers Luna, vice president of sales.
