PDS opens Bakersfield, CA location

Jul 01, 2022

Pacific Drayage Services (PDS) has opened a new location in central California at 4115 Fruitvale Avenue in Bakersfield, CA. This new, centrally located facility features a paved, lit, fenced yard with 24-hour security-controlled access; room for storage of 100 containers on chassis; and 10,000 square feet of warehousing space complete with six bay doors, enabling PDS to provide transloading services for its valued customers. 

“Our new Bakersfield location is hugely beneficial to our drivers and our customers alike,” says Jim Gillis, president of Pacific Drayage Services. “Our drivers can now park their trucks at our secure facility overnight, providing them with local access outside of LAX. For our customers, our new facility offers them easy access to greater velocity and transloading services in Central California outside of the Los Angeles market.”

As a premier container drayage and warehousing provider, PDS has locations strategically positioned at the Ports of Long Beach, Los Angeles, Oakland, Tracy and, now, Bakersfield. With a focus on being an asset-based industry leader, the PDS fleet is made up entirely of company trucks and drivers.
