Outpost expands with four new truck yards

Sept. 19, 2024
With this expansion, nearly 60 acres of industrial outdoor storage will be added, along with more than 1,700 semi-truck parking spaces.

Outpost, a network of truck terminals and fleet yard facilities, has added four new locations to its nationwide network.

The properties in Chicago; Fort Lauderdale, Florida; Inland Empire, California; and Laredo, Texas, strengthen Outpost’s presence in logistics hubs across the U.S., bringing online nearly 60 acres of industrial outdoor storage with 1,700+ semi-truck parking spaces.

  • The 30-acre Chicagoland facility, located at 70 Airport Road in West Dundee, adds more than 1,000 spaces for tractor-trailers and other heavy-duty vehicles. The yard expands Outpost’s network into Illinois and increases total truck parking capacity within the state by nearly 9%. The yard officially opens in October.
  • The 14-acre Fort Lauderdale yard, located at 12754 Wiles Road in Coral Springs, is Outpost’s first in the state of Florida, adding 370 new truck parking spaces and providing a gateway into the Southeast U.S., Latin America, and other major Atlantic shipping lanes. 
  • The 4.5-acre Inland Empire yard, located at 15122 Ceres Avenue in Fontana, is Outpost’s first in California with nearly 100 parking spaces. Its proximity within a half-day drive of Los Angeles, San Diego, and Las Vegas makes it an ideal base for local and longer-haul freight operations throughout Southern California and the Southwest.
  • The 11-acre Laredo yard at 18702 Metropolitan Rd includes 320 parking spaces. Its proximity to the Laredo International Bridge and I-35 north-south corridor facilitates cross-border freight at one of the busiest U.S. land ports.

“As our network continues to expand, motor carriers increasingly look to Outpost as a strategic partner for positioning their fleets, improving asset visibility, and optimizing their real estate investments,” said Trent Cameron, Outpost co-founder and CEO. “This can only be accomplished through our combination of purpose-built technology and the operational expertise of managing yards at scale. Our four new properties strengthen our ability to help these fleets operate more efficiently in critical freight corridors across the U.S.”
