Zenith Expands Truck Fleet

October 1, 2014  by in Delivery, Industry   

“We’ve experienced an increase in both our regional and long-distance freight volume, and needed to expand our fleet accordingly,” said Jack Hawn, president and CEO of Zenith, Conover, N.C. “This investment will allow us to address our customers’ need for faster, more efficient, on-time delivery throughout the U.S.” 

The fleet additions include 12 Freightliner Cascadia Evolutions, known for their fuel economy, as well as 20 Kentucky Trailer 53-foot AVCC-DF trailers, which it has branded as the ZCube Max Capacity trailer. This is the second fleet expansion this year for Zenith Global. In January, the company added 16 new Freightliner Cascadia day cabs at its Riverside, Calif., facility to address growing demand for freight moving through that warehouse and hub.

Last fall, Zenith Global added 60 trailers from Utility to meet increased freight volume in Florida, Georgia, Maryland, and Texas; as well as 10 Freightliner M2 straight trucks for local home delivery.
