New Ocala Facility Planned For End Of 2025 MOVING FORWARD IN FLORIDA An important way we can secure our future is by making strategic moves now regarding our facilities investments. That’s why we announced in 2024 our plans for a new facility in Ocala, FL. The construction process is underway, and we plan for the doors to open at the end of this year. RAPID GROWTH The Ocala metro area is one of the fastest growing in Florida, making this new facility a logical fit for our future. “We also wanted to add more capacity in the state while relieving some pressure from both Jacksonville and Orlando,” explains Vice President of Operations LARRY MASON . “This facility will get our resources closer to a fast-growing market, which will improve service to our customers. It's all part of our strategic growth in Florida to keep moving more freight in and out of the South." BY THE NUMBERS The Ocala service center will feature:
Site work gets underway at our new service center in Ocala, FL. The new facility is strategically located as part of our plans for continued growth in the Sunshine State.
LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION Not only is Ocala a prime market in north central Florida, but our service center will be in a prime position, making it a win-win for the rest of our network. "Our facility will also be right off I-75 in a very good location,” Larry says. “That will help with loads coming out of Atlanta going to South Florida.” We’re excited to see what the future holds for our new Florida facility, and we also look forward to seeing its positive impact on our entire team. It’s all about making the right moves for Our Customers, Our Associates and Our Future ! T m
