Have you noticed the big trucks with bold red lettering driving down Alabama highways? They belong to Averitt, a Tennessee-based provider of freight transportation and supply chain management.

Located within the South Alabama Logistics Park, Averitt’s new Mobile facility is a distribution and fulfillment center. Though Averitt has several Averitt Express and inland ports, this new facility is the first distribution and fulfillment center in the state.

Featuring a 120,000-square-foot warehouse and a 35,000-square-foot cross dock, the new center puts sustainability at the forefront with motion-sensing LED lighting, electric forklifts and environmentally-conscious technologies.

The facility’s strategic location near the Port of Mobile will help Averitt serve the Southeast and beyond, as well as have an economic impact on the City.
