en.Wedoany.com Reported - Averitt Express plans to build a new regional logistics park in Louisville, Kentucky, to expand its local business footprint.
The Cookeville, Tennessee-based freight and logistics service provider Averitt Express recently announced plans to construct a new regional campus in Louisville, Kentucky. Company officials stated that the new campus will replace the existing 40,000-square-foot service center located on McCollum Court. Averitt has operated in Bullitt County for 44 years, continuously growing since opening its first local facility in 1982.
The new campus will house all of the company's regional operations in an integrated format, covering less-than-truckload, truckload, dedicated transportation, distribution and fulfillment, and integrated services. Averitt plans to hire 64 new associates over the next four years while retaining the 182 existing associates at its current Louisville location.
The new campus is expected to be completed in 2028, with key facilities including: a 10,000-square-foot, two-story regional office building (featuring training and collaboration spaces); a 50,000-square-foot cross-dock distribution center with 100 dock doors (expandable to 160 dock doors); over 286,000 square feet of warehouse space for distribution and fulfillment; parking for more than 300 trailers, along with fleet maintenance, fueling, and driver support facilities.
Averitt President and Chief Operating Officer Barry Blakely stated: "Investing in facility infrastructure is one of the ways we prepare for the future. This is not just about expanding our footprint, but about enhancing customer value. The new campus will provide faster, more flexible, and more efficient services to support the growing freight demands in Kentucky and the southern region. The new parking, maintenance, fueling, and driver support facilities are designed to improve the daily experience for our drivers and associates."
Blakely also noted that the new campus is strategically designed to improve the speed, efficiency, and reliability of logistics operations. He stated: "From reducing transit times and increasing capacity to expanding integrated distribution and fulfillment capabilities, every aspect of the campus is focused on helping customers operate more efficiently and achieve their business goals." He emphasized that Averitt currently serves, and will continue to serve, thousands of customers in the Northern Kentucky region through this campus.
