Averitt announces major expansion in Louisville

Averitt announced it will build a new regional campus in Louisville. The expansion will allow the Tennessee-based company to add an additional 64 associates over the next four years and retain 182 associates who work at their existing Louisville location. The development will serve as home to Averitt’s entire regional operation, a single, integrated campus that brings together all five of the company’s service units: less-than-truckload (LTL), truckload, dedicated, distribution and fulfillment and integrated services. The campus will include:

• A two-story, 10,000-square-foot regional office with training and collaboration space
• A 50,000-square-foot, 100-door cross-dock, expandable to 160 doors
• A warehouse totaling more than 286,000 square feet of distribution and fulfillment space
• Parking for more than 300 trailers, plus fleet maintenance, fueling, and driver support facilities to elevate the day-to-day experience of its drivers

Construction on the campus is expected to begin immediately and be completed in 2028. The new campus will replace the 40,000-square-foot service center Averitt currently operates at 4020 McCollum Court. Averitt is celebrating its 44th year of operation in Bullitt County, having opened its first local office in 1982. “This Louisville expansion is a significant and unique facility investment for Averitt,” said Barry Blakely, president and chief operating officer at Averitt. “The new campus will allow us to provide faster, more adaptable, and more efficient service, while enhancing our capacity to meet increasing freight demand in the Greater Louisville area and all across the South.”
