Averitt announces major new commitment to Charlotte

Averitt, one of the nation’s leading transportation and supply chain management providers, has announced it will build a new regional campus near Charlotte Douglas International Airport.

The expansion will allow the Tennessee-based company to more than double its Charlotte workforce, adding an additional 211 associates over the next four years.

The development, on just over 100 acres, 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, 16,000-square-foot regional office with training and collaboration space
• A 75,000-square-foot, 150-door cross-dock, expandable to 200 doors
• Two warehouses totaling more than 500,000 square feet of distribution and fulfillment space
• Parking for more than 400 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 3708 Westinghouse Blvd. with 182 full-time associates.

“This Charlotte expansion represents one of the most exciting and distinctive facility investments in Averitt’s 55-year history. It will be unlike any other Averitt location in the country,” said Barry Blakely, president and chief operating officer at Averitt. “The new campus will enable us to deliver faster, more flexible and more efficient service while strengthening our ability to support growing freight demand across the Carolinas and throughout the South.”
