Prime, Old Dominion Expand Hubs to Capture Growing Freight Demand

Key Details Prime Inc. is investing $160 million in a new regional trucking hub near Griffin, Georgia, about 37 miles south of Atlanta. The facility will create over 120 jobs and hire more than 50 drivers, featuring driver training, maintenance operations, and amenities designed to improve driver experience. Old Dominion Freight Line opened a new 65-door LTL terminal in Pasco, Washington, replacing a smaller facility. The 32,000-square-foot terminal is valued at more than $7 million and will increase capacity across southeastern Washington. Why It Matters Both expansions signal carrier confidence in demand growth. Prime's Southeastern hub positions the carrier to serve key customers and transportation corridors more efficiently. The company operates over 7,000 trucks and employs 8,500 drivers across multiple service lines. Old Dominion's strategy of adding doors and density strengthens its LTL network and improves service times. The upgrades align with industry-wide capacity plays as carriers position themselves for sustained freight volumes. Additional Context Prime's Georgia campus will include sustainability initiatives, diverting over 1 million tires annually from landfills. State officials highlighted the project as evidence of Georgia's $107 billion transportation and logistics sector supporting roughly one in nine jobs statewide.
