A. Duie Pyle has grown, but LTL carrier is remaining focused on the Northeast
With three new service centers opening in the past year and three more on the way, it may seem that LTL carrier A. Duie Pyle (ADP) is on the verge of a massive expansion beyond its largely Northeastern footprint.
Not so, according to John Luciani, chief operating officer for the company’s LTL operations, which are about 70% of the total business.
“Virginia and West Virginia will be the end of our geographic expansion,” Luciani said in an interview with FreightWaves at the ADP Carteret, New Jersey, facility, one of the five largest in the company. He was referring to already-opened facilities in Richmond and Roanoke, Virginia, and plans to add an LTL service center in Charleston, West Virginia.
The added service centers from last year were all in Virginia: Richmond, Roanoke and Manassas. The three that are scheduled to open this year are in Charleston, W. Va. (hence Luciani’s reference to that state), Maspeth, in the New York City borough of Queens, and Pittsfield, Maine.
