Averitt Opens New Logistics Facility in Jackson, Mississippi
Averitt, a less-than-truckload (LTL) carrier based in Cookeville, Tennessee, has opened a new 100,000-square-foot distribution and fulfillment facility in Jackson, Mississippi. The location is strategically positioned near major freight corridors I-20 and I-55, which are undergoing $400 million in infrastructure improvements by the state of Mississippi. This expansion aligns with Averitt's broader network enhancement strategy. The new warehouse will support rail connections to ports like New Orleans and Mobile while offering flexible warehousing solutions for seasonal or overflow inventory needs without long-term commitments from customers. The facility is adjacent to an existing 57-door LTL terminal, reinforcing the company’s integrated logistics approach across its U.S. South and Southeast operations. Averitt plans to add over 900,000 square feet of warehouse space by 2027 as part of a multi-year expansion initiative that includes new facilities like this one in Jackson and another opened recently in Tulsa.
