COOKEVILLE, Tenn (July 16, 2014) — Responding to the growing role of Ontario as Canada’s manufacturing hub, Averitt has announced improved less-than-truckload service times from the U.S. Midwest to the province, including Toronto and other key cities.
With the improvements, LTL shipments moving from Chicago arrive in Toronto in a single business day.
“The Midwest-to-Ontario lanes are vital parts of many of our customers' business plans,” said Phil Pierce, Averitt’s executive vice president of sales and marketing. “It’s become more important to our customers that we provide improved service to the province of Ontario. We listened to their feedback and made adjustments to our operations to shave time off our service to Ontario.”
In addition to the one-day service to Toronto, Averitt has also shortened times to other major Ontario cities, including Ottawa, Kingston and London. Freight moving from Averitt’s Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Louis facilities can now move to those points in as few as two business days.
