Expanding Asia-US Freight Options
Averitt Express is growing its Asia-Memphis service to reach two new origin points—Hong Kong and South China. The less-than-containerload (LCL) Express service has been growing since July, when it was initiated. At the outset the focus was on freight moving from Shanghai and Shenzen.
What makes the service unique is its tight integration with a less-than-truckload (LTL) ground network. Containers are loaded in Asia, move directly through the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach to the carrier’s CFS Bonded Distribution Center in Memphis where they are deconsolidated and move directly through the Averitt Express LTL network to consignees.
