Overnite Tightens Transit Times Between Southern California and
U.S. Southeast RICHMOND, Va., March 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Overnite Transportation Company, one of the nation's leading
less-than-truckload carriers, announced today it has reduced
transit times to three days between Southern California and the
Southeast. "These new, cross-country transit improvements will
bring Virginia, North and South Carolina, Georgia and Tennessee
under Overnite's three-day umbrella covering locations from Fresno
to San Diego in California," said Steve Kershner, Vice
President-Operations Support. "The improvements are a continuation
of Overnite's ongoing efforts to reinforce a service product that
saw more than 2,800 transit-time reductions in 2004," Kershner
continued, noting the three-day transcontinental service to the
affected states "reinforces Overnite's claim as one of the nation's
leading transportation service providers." Overnite blankets
Southern California through a network of seven centers located in
Fresno, Bakersfield, Simi Valley, Los Angeles, Fontana, Orange
County and San Diego. The five southeastern states affected by the
reduced cross-country transit times are home to 35 Overnite service
centers. Overnite Transportation Company is a wholly owned
subsidiary of Overnite Corporation (NASDAQ:OVNT), which also owns
Motor Cargo Industries, Inc. Together, they form one of the largest
less-than-truckload carriers in the United States with more than
200 service centers and a fleet of over 6,000 tractors and over
21,000 trailers, providing full-state coverage to all 50 states and
providing customers with direct access to more than 45,000 cities
