XPO opens new terminals in Phoenix, Kansas City markets

Less-than-truckload carrier XPO has expanded its terminal network in North America by opening new locations in Arizona and Missouri. This brings the total terminal count to 300 across the continent. In Mesa, Arizona, a 51,000-square-foot facility houses 86 dock doors and over 100 employees, providing essential capacity to serve the growing Phoenix market.

The region's expanding industrial investments and cross-border trade with Mexico have driven this demand. Meanwhile, a 13,000-square-foot terminal in Cameron, Missouri, near the intersection of I-35 and U.S. 36, offers 32 dock doors and more than 30 staff members, catering to both north-south and east-west freight routes. XPO's West Division president, Matt Carroll, emphasized that these new service centers bolster the company's presence in crucial freight markets, reflecting a strategic investment in its network.

Over the past five years, XPO has increased door capacity by 15% through the opening of nearly 35 new locations. In 2023, the company acquired 28 terminals worth $870 million from the defunct Yellow Corp. With this infrastructure spanning 300 terminals, XPO offers direct coverage in 99% of U.S. ZIP codes and cross-border service in Canada and Mexico.

This expansion enhances XPO's network density and geographic reach, positioning the carrier strategically in high-demand corridors to deliver superior service and improve competitive capacity.
