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
