Eagle Transport Holds Grand Opening for New Facility in Charlotte

Charlotte, N.C. --- Eagle Transport held the grand opening of its new Charlotte facility on Tuesday, May 16, 2006 from 11 am to 3 pm.
Eagle Transport, one of the most progressive petroleum transport carriers on the east coast, recently opened the facility as part of a continued effort to expand its business over several locations in the east for the past three to four years.

Bill George, President, is very excited about the new facility. He says “this is the only modern petroleum carrier terminal in the Charlotte market. It is highly visible and state of the art.” The new facility is complete with electronic gates for driver security, new offices for the staff, a new driver break-room, a driver training room and a new, modernized shop.

George adds that “Mark Kinsey, the terminal manager for Charlotte, and his staff do a great job for us. They have really contributed to our growth. This really demonstrates a commitment to the driving force and customers as well. It goes to show that we are going to be a premier carrier in the marketplace for the long term.” Kinsey added that the new facility “is a great improvement over our old, temporary facility. Our shop and offices are now in the same place, making everything much more convenient.”

Customers and vendors were invited to the opening for a BBQ cookout along with all employees and their families. Eagle is also making plans for new facilities in Tampa, Fla. and Roanoke, Va.
