21 Mayo 2024 - 10:41AM
ITS Logistics, one of North America's fastest-growing modern 3PLs,
today announced the opening of a Transportation Center in Fort
Worth, Texas, marking a new milestone of growth for the company
despite economic headwinds in the freight industry. The newly
remodeled 20,000 sq ft center, which is set to open in Q3 of 2024,
will be in the heart of Fort Worth’s Cultural District and create
approximately 300 jobs over the next 3-4 years. This new center
will be ITS Logistics’ second Transportation Center and second
location in Fort Worth, with the first being its 1.1M sq ft
distribution center that opened in Q4 of 2023.
Working with Fortune 500 companies across North America, ITS
Logistics provides a full suite of premium transportation services
and prides itself on finding effective solutions for the industry’s
most complicated supply chain challenges. The company’s Fort Worth
Transportation Center will grow its operations, including the
management of network transportation, drayage and intermodal,
distribution and fulfillment, final-mile delivery, and managed
solutions.
Expanding its presence in Fort Worth is the latest in a series
of investments the company has made over the last year, including
the buildout of its Indianapolis distribution campus to nearly 1.5M
sq ft, the opening of its 1.1M sq ft distribution facility in Fort
Worth, the launch of its Tech Innovation Center in Walnut Creek,
CA, and the release of the company’s container management and
visibility platform, ContainerAI.
“Expanding the geographic footprint of our asset-lite logistics
business is a natural evolution within our modern 3PL business
model,” said Scott Pruneau, CEO of ITS Logistics. “Our new center
in Fort Worth gives us a physical presence in a growing supply
chain hub serving many thriving industries. We are excited about
the opportunities this expansion will create for our team members
and the continued value we will be able to unlock for our business
partners.”
Showing support for the expansion and the approximately 300 jobs
it will create, Fort Worth’s City Council approved tax incentive
grants to ITS Logistics in its May 14 session.
“We are excited that ITS Logistics is growing in Fort Worth by
adding a new office and hundreds of high-wage jobs,” said Robert
Allen, President and CEO of the Fort Worth Economic Development
Partnership. “As Fort Worth continues to grow, this expansion by
ITS Logistics underscores our commitment to fostering economic
development and job creation in our community.”
ITS Logistics President Manny McElroy will be heading up the new
center in Fort Worth. McElroy has been with ITS Logistics since
2012 and was recently promoted from Senior Vice President of
Transportation. McElroy takes pride in seeing his team members
develop in their personal and professional lives, considering
himself to be a culture driver for the company. McElroy previously
held various roles at OHL, XPO Logistics, and Schneider
National.
“We are excited about the continued expansion of our
capabilities and the overall strategy of combining our asset and
asset-lite transportation offerings with our distribution services
in key markets, powered by some of the best technology in supply
chain,” said McElroy. “For me and my family, getting the
opportunity to lead this expansion in Fort Worth for a company that
truly values people, relationships, and our communities is really
special. I am honored to be a part of it.”
ITS Logistics is immediately hiring for positions in logistics
management, transportation sales, human resources, information
technology, and more. Job seekers can apply at the company’s
