COOKEVILLE, Tenn.—Averitt Express, a provider of freight transportation and supply chain management services, announced this week it has expanded its asset-based truckload service into Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, and New Jersey.
Averitt officials said that with these rollouts, Averitt now provides asset-based coverage for truckload shipments in 25 states in the Southern and Midwest regions of the United States. As part of this expansion, Averitt now has new domiciles—locations where truckload units are parked during drivers’ time off—in Wichita, Kansas, Davenport, Iowa, Des Moines, Iowa, and Kansas City, Missouri. Averitt has also added truckload units at its recently-built Winchester, Virginia service center, and company officials said that these openings will enable the company to position more trucks in these states to respond quickly to localized demand.
“We have been aware of the demand [in these markets] for years,” said Brad Brown, Averitt spokesman. “The idea to implement it really started gaining momentum in the third quarter of last year. Our customers had been expressing a desire for us to serve these markets with our own assets.”
