A new terminal has opened in Jackson, Georgia. Alabama Motor Express, a family-owned trucking and logistics company, has opened this new location about 40 miles south of Atlanta. According to a statement from the company, the reason behind the new location was bringing AMX closer to key customers by extending its footprint in one of the nation’s largest distribution hubs.
The trailer pool of the new terminal will include about 60 tractors and even more trailers located in the secured, monitored yard. Alabama Motor Express is seeking to fully staff the terminal with more than 50 logistics and operations professionals to work alongside the company’s seasoned, certified drivers.
To support the team, the parent company, Alabama Motor Express, is looking to grow the logistics offices and terminals in both Georgia and Alabama. With more drivers that have a wider range of knowledge and insights about the region, AMX expects that the company can improve service levels. AMX also wants to offer drivers more flexibility to balance work and home.
“We’re always striving for new ways to better serve our customers,” said Jared Moore, the Alabama Motor Express President of Traffic and Logistics. “The new terminal gives our customers in the greater Atlanta area faster, more responsive access to readily available trailers, local drivers, and strategic support”
“Regional expertise and accessibility are critical when managing capacity, rates, and unforeseen challenges. We’ve been serving the greater Atlanta area for more than 30 years. Now, we have the local resources in place to connect with customers more efficiently, whether that’s accommodating last-minute deliveries, meeting for in-person strategy sessions, or just catching up over lunch. We’re part of the local community, and we’re committed to helping it continue to thrive. We’ve already established many local dedicated customer accounts—and we’re ready to add more.”
Alabama Motor Express covers all 48 continental states and Canada with 250+ power units and 600+ trailers. For over 30 years, AMX has delivered freight quickly, reliably, and affordably. Run and operated by truckers, AMX has the fleet and logistics expertise to get the job done.
