Averitt opened a 100,000-square-foot distribution and fulfillment facility in Jackson, Mississippi, near major freight lanes I-20 and I-55.

The brief

This new facility offers flexible warehousing and fulfillment options, including seasonal and overflow inventory projects without long-term contracts. It is strategically located next to Averitt's existing 57-door LTL terminal, enhancing multimodal connectivity to rail and ports like New Orleans and Mobile, Alabama. This integrated approach allows shippers and 3PLs to leverage single-source LTL and warehousing solutions in a key central Mississippi market.

Takeaway

Evaluate current 3PL network for opportunities to consolidate LTL and warehousing services through carriers like Averitt in key regional hubs, particularly in the Southeast.
