PITT OHIO, a provider of regional and national logistics services, announced today the introduction of a new LTL Express Lane to six key cross-border cities in Texas.
A statement from the company said this strategic initiative will involve the consolidation of freight at the company’s Cincinnati terminal, with shipments routed to Laredo, El Paso, McAllen, Brownsville, Eagle Pass, and Del Rio. For the final mile delivery to these border cities, PITT OHIO will collaborate with their partner to the South, Averitt Express.
PITT OHIO’s EVP and Chief Marketing Officer Geoff Muessig, said, “This operational setup brings significant improvements over the traditional hub and spoke system utilized by many national carriers. By consolidating freight at a single terminal and dispatching directly to the destination cities, we reduce handling, thereby minimizing the risk of damages, shortages, or lost freight. Our streamlined approach ensures faster transit times, offering superior service levels compared to most national carriers.”
The company said this initiative underscores its commitment to sustainability.
Muessig continued, “Through more direct routing and the elimination of unnecessary miles, we significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This optimized routing approach not only benefits the environment, but also enhances our operational efficiency, aligning with our goal to deliver exceptional service while maintaining environmental responsibility.”
