Old Dominion, which has maintained a presence in Troy for 11 years, moved into a larger, state-of-the-art facility located on a 16-acre site at 1310 E. Big Beaver Road in Troy. The terminal is strategically located along the Interstate 75 corridor, allowing for overnight service into parts of Ontario.
The relocation is part of a $90-120 million investment Old Dominion has committed to real estate purchases and expansion projects in 2012. With the relocation, Old Dominion increased its workforce at the Detroit terminal by 20 percent.
'This expanded facility guarantees our customers will continue to receive the superior service they have come to expect from Old Dominion,' said John Westendorf, the terminal's manager. 'We're excited about the growth opportunities this state-of-the-art facility affords us.'
The Detroit terminal, which also includes a new repair shop, provides direct service to a number of cities throughout the region, including Auburn Hills, Chesterfield, Ferndale, Lapeer, Oak Park, Pt. Huron, Madison Heights, Royal Oak and Warren.
The company operates a total of seven terminals in Michigan. Last month, the company relocated its Grand Rapids Service Center to a larger facility.
