Pitt Ohio relocated a terminal in Toledo, Ohio, to a nearly 129,000-square-foot service facility in Monroe, Michigan, the carrier announced last month.
Roughly 20 miles from the Toledo location, the Monroe site adds more than 100 dock doors to the carrier’s network, according to the company. It includes a 20,000-square-foot, 7-bay vehicle maintenance building and a new fueling island and tank.
“We are excited to announce the relocation of our Toledo terminal to a larger, renovated facility in Monroe, Michigan,” said Brad Caven, Pitt Ohio’s VP of operations, in a statement. “This move, just 20 miles from our previous location, will significantly enhance our shipping capacity and better serve our customers in Toledo and Southwest Michigan.”
Michigan was among several popular areas during Yellow Corp.’s bankruptcy real estate auction, with Estes Express Lines, Saia and Knight-Swift Transportation Holdings all picking up LTL terminals in the state.
The Monroe terminal is Pitt Ohio’s second in Michigan, following the Battle Creek Terminal in Portage, near Kalamazoo, according to its website.
Despite the move, Pitt Ohio will maintain a strong presence in the Buckeye State. The carrier operates service centers in Cleveland, Cincinnati and Columbus.
“The new terminal not only meets PITT OHIO’s high sustainability standards but also provides a fantastic work environment for our dedicated employees,” Caven said. “This change is a testament to our commitment to growth, excellence, and employee satisfaction.”
