Old Dominion Opens New Container Drayage Facility in Alabama


MOBILE, Alabama (June 6, 2011) – Old Dominion Freight Line Inc. today announced the opening of a new container drayage site to serve all ports and container yards in the Mobile, Alabama, area.
            The new site – the second new container drayage facility Old Dominion has opened this year – will offer pick-up and delivery to any point in the continental United States.
Old Dominion container drayage services include direct point-to-point delivery, loading, unloading, short term warehousing and container pools for the convenience of import and export shippers.
“The Mobile site responds to growing customer demand and expands our coverage throughout the South in close proximity to traditional drayage markets served by Old Dominion,” said Wayne Bersch, director of container operations for Old Dominion. “This new site allows us to continue to hire new drivers and also use Southeastern-based drivers to serve market needs.”
Old Dominion has been operating container drayage for more than 50 years and offers direct services from 11 cities in addition to Mobile: Atlanta; Chicago; Los Angeles; Memphis, Tennessee; Norfolk, Virginia; Wilmington, North Carolina; Charlotte, North Carolina; Charleston, South Carolina; Savannah, Georgia; Huntsville, Alabama; and Jacksonville, Florida. In 2010, Old Dominion container drayage grew by 35 percent, and the company continues to see strong growth in 2011.
The company opened the Memphis container drayage facility last month. Old Dominion expects to open additional container drayage locations in the future.
Rates for the new operation as well as all Old Dominion drayage operations are available by emailing to drayrate@odfl.com. For more information about Old Dominion, visit www.odfl.com or call (800) 432-6335.
