Averitt expands Nashville presence with three major facility upgrades

Averitt continues to strengthen its foothold in Nashville with the expansion and enhancement of three key facilities in the Middle Tennesse area.

Averitt recently completed extensive renovations of its Nashville-area service center, located at One Averitt Express Drive, at the intersection of Briley Parkway and Interstate 24. Situated at the heart of the company's regional distribution network, Averitt's Nashville service center spans 42 acres, includes 510 truck parking spaces and 162 dock doors, accommodating 190 drivers and over 300 associates.

Recent renovations at that location include:

• Modernized building exterior and grounds
• Renovated and updated office and dock space
• Added LED lighting for improved safety and sustainability
• New restrooms
• Replaced fencing for improved security and appearance
• Expanded and upgraded all parking for both associate and operational needs
• New drive-through wash bay and upgraded fuel bays
• Upgraded security system throughout property
• New preventive maintenance locker room

Averitt has also moved its Nashville-area Distribution & Fulfillment operation into a new facility located at Central Logistics Park East on Hixson Blvd. in Lebanon. The expansive new location features approximately 280,000 square feet of enclosed freight storage and inventory management space. Strategically located off Interstate 840, a vital corridor in Middle Tennessee, this facility positions Averitt at the forefront of Nashville's role as a major distribution hub. Businesses can leverage the extensive space for quick regional deliveries and seamless distribution throughout North America.

Additionally, Averitt has moved its On Tour Logistics operation into a 90,000 square feet warehouse, located at 2 Dell Parkway in Nashville, which previously housed the company's Distribution and Fulfillment operation. Averitt's expertise in On Tour Logistics takes center stage in Nashville, catering to the unique logistics needs of different events and the entertainment industry. The On Tour Logistics warehouse, located adjacent to the Nashville International Airport (BNA), supports events like the Country Music Awards (CMAs) and provides secure, specialized storage for artists' gear and production equipment.

"Our commitment to our facilities is a direct investment, not just in our own network, but also in our customers’ success,” said Joe Paul Tackett, Averitt’s Nashville Service Center director.

Averitt's investments in these properties reflect its strategic placement in the logistics industry, as well as its commitment to delivering exceptional transportation and logistics service.
