Averitt has expanded capabilities at its Ocala, Florida, facility with the addition of 8,500 square feet of enclosed dock warehousing space, bringing the total square footage of dock and warehousing space to over 36,000.

The Ocala facility, which opened in February, was designed to support growing freight demand in Central Florida and is part of Averitt’s overall facility growth plan across its network. The addition of enclosed warehousing space reflects both an expansion of services and a forward-looking investment in a market that continues to experience rapid economic and logistics growth.

This past weekend, Averitt welcomed members of the local community, customers, and business leaders to the facility for open house events and an official ribbon-cutting. The events provided an opportunity to showcase the operation, connect with the community, and highlight the company’s long-term commitment to the Ocala area.

“We are grateful to everyone who joined us for the open house and ribbon cutting to see our new Ocala facility and the addition of our enclosed dock warehousing space,” said Justin Burkett, regional vice president of sales in the Florida area for Averitt. “With that space, we are able to provide secure, flexible warehousing and more efficiently manage the transition between transportation and storage for our customers.”
