Averitt Express, a freight transportation and supply chain service provider, today announced it expanded its operations in Charleston County. The company's reported $4.58 million investment will create 12 new jobs.
Originally established in 1971 in Livingston, Tennessee, Averitt is one of the nation's leading freight transportation providers, handling shipments globally. In 2012, Averitt opened its first hybrid facility in Charleston County offering cross-dock and warehouse space. This service center supports the company's less-than-truckload (LTL) and truckload distribution network.
Located at 7749 Palmetto Commerce Parkway in North Charleston, Averitt Express added 35,000 square feet of warehousing space to its current facility and additional on-site parking and fuel tanks. The expansion enhances the company's ability to accommodate increased customer demand and support the growing volume of cargo moving in and out of the Port of Charleston.
Operations are already online; individuals interested in joining the Averitt Express team should visit the company's careers page.
