We are proud to announce the opening of our new Yakima, Washington yard and maintenance facility, a strategic investment that strengthens our growing presence across the Pacific Northwest. This expansion enhances our ability to serve customers operating in Eastern Washington, Tri-Cities, Spokane, Puget Sound, SeaTac, and Idaho trade lanes, while providing our drivers with critical infrastructure to operate safely, efficiently, and consistently.
This new location represents more than physical growth. It reflects our long-term commitment to building smarter logistics infrastructure across the United States and creating stronger, more reliable service for our customers.
WHY YAKIMA, WASHINGTON WAS THE RIGHT MOVE
Yakima, Washington offers a unique strategic advantage for transportation and logistics operations. Located along primary transportation corridors, the region provides direct access to Eastern Washington and Idaho while serving as a natural connection point to the Tri-Cities, Spokane, and Puget Sound markets.
By establishing a dedicated yard and maintenance operation in Yakima, we reduce transit friction, increase operational visibility, and provide faster, more flexible support for regional freight movements. This allows us to respond more quickly to customer needs and supports consistent, dependable lane performance.
PURPOSE-BUILT FOR DRIVERS AND OPERATIONS
The Yakima facility was designed with performance and people in mind. The site spans more than 13 acres, providing ample space for fleet flow, staging, and secure parking. It also features a 6,000+ square foot office built to support dispatch, safety, and operational coordination.
