Averitt Opens New Location To Better Serve Greater Greensboro, NC Area
By Averitt on Oct 6, 2020 12:00:00 AM
With the opening of this new facility, the future for Averitt and our team here in Greensboro is wide open. This area of North Carolina has just had rapid growth. Greensboro loads direct to all points in North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia. So that's important as well. So anything that comes through here, say it's from a pool distribution standpoint, know, it's next day, there's very little handling of the freight going into those markets. And they load to all but one point in in Florida, most of Georgia, a good majority of Averitt's system they load direct to. So it's good distribution area as well. I think a total of twenty three service centers we have direct service into from this facility. For our customers that means less handling and product and it means quicker delivery to their customers. In our old facility space was very, very limited. Dock space, yard space, everything was very, very limited. So with this new facility, we had the opportunity to do all those things and we've been successful with that. We can handle pretty much anything they've got, whether it's their normal LTL, if it's a cross dock operation, if it's a pool distribution operation, transload, several of our docks here are specifically designed for containers. With the thirty three acres of land we have available to us now, we have room for parking and for storage of equipment and we really just basically have room to move around in this facility. We're positioned better than ever to take care of our customers today and into the future. You know, you look at this facility and it would not be here without the dedication and the passion of the associates here. The longevity of our associates here in Greensboro goes a long way with our customers. Due to the simple fact they've talked to the same people whether it's been customer service or admin or drivers. They've dealt with the same core group of associates for twenty five, thirty years now. So it goes a long ways in their security and knowing that they can talk to somebody they can trust that will get the job done for them. I think that's where that comes from, that passion for those, because if you spend any amount of time in this facility, you'll see real quick there's some special people that work here. Moving from our old facility, yes, gives us an opportunity to grow at any rate we want to. There's no reason that our growth rate should outpace this facility and if it does, we've got the opportunity to expand another fifty doors. This facility is built to serve our customers for decades to come. We have the people, we have the equipment, and most importantly we have the culture.
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. — Averitt Express has opened a new service center that expands its ability to service Greensboro and the Piedmont Triad region of North Carolina. Located less than 18 miles from downtown Greensboro, the new facility features a 46,000-sq.-ft dock and 102 truck doors to handle the flow and distribution of freight in and out of the region.
