Holland Announces Opening of New Grand Rapids, Michigan Terminal

HOLLAND, Mich., (NASDAQ: YRCW) – August 18, 2015 – Holland, the industry-leader in next-day regional LTL service, is proud to announce the opening of its brand new Grand Rapids, Mich. terminal. The service center, staffed with 265 employees, began operations on Aug. 14. The 48,790 square-foot facility, has 110 dock doors as well as an additional 16,000 square-foot maintenance building with greatly improved dock and vehicle service space. This new terminal enables Holland team members to more effectively serve current customers and accommodate the increasing demand for services both in the southwestern Michigan market as well as the entire Holland network.

“Building a completely new facility from ground up was a challenging project. We are excited and pleased to see customer shipments moving through the system at our new terminal,” said Marc Weir, Grand Rapids Terminal Manager. “This larger, more modern facility situated on 23 acres helps employees to work more efficiently and enables us to better serve our customers with the unmatched next-day service Holland is known for. We have nearly tripled our yard size. This facility incorporates many new building techniques and technologies adding further flexibility and capacity. This terminal exemplifies service excellence. It is the ‘Holland Difference’ in action.”

Ground was broken for the terminal, located six miles south of the former site, on December 19, 2014. This area is part of a planned industrial area in a less-congested region that will smooth the flow of truck traffic in and out of the service center. The available land and facility design offer much potential for future growth. 

The new Holland Grand Rapids area terminal is located at: 10151 Division Avenue S.W., Wayland, Michigan 49348. Phone numbers remain the same. Phone: 616-538-9500; Toll-free 800-321-0942; Fax 616-724-2719.
