Van Buren-based USA Truck announced Wednesday (March 11) an expansion of its West Memphis terminal operation “to meet the needs of its growing business in the nation’s most active ground transportation hub.”
The expansion is expected to add five jobs at the terminal.
The statement said the long-haul carrier and logistics company expanded its service area in 2013 and added 12 jobs. The West Memphis operation provides more “home time” for drivers because of the central location within the company’s service area.
“As a native of West Memphis, I am pleased to see the progress we have made in creating jobs for skilled professionals in an area where transportation thrives for the West Memphis and surrounding economies,” Burton Weis, vice president of Human Resources for USA Truck, said in a statement.
