Old Dominion Renovates Minneapolis Service Center

172-door facility strengthens Northern Midwest region

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. (Sep. 21, 2016) —Old Dominion Freight Line, Inc. celebrates another newly renovated service center in the heart of Minnesota.

Old Dominion continues to strengthen its network across the country by investing in service center remodels. The Thomasville, N.C.-based less-than-truckload (LTL) carrier, conducted an extensive remodel to allow for growth and stronger service in the Northern Midwest region.


The 172-door Minneapolis service center is located at 3701 85th Ave NE, Shoreview, MN 55126. Old Dominion has three service centers in Minnesota, including locations in Minneapolis, Benson and Duluth. The facility opened in 1995 with only six employees, and has grown to 225 hardworking employees in 2016.

"We're very proud of the recent Minneapolis service center renovation," said Darek Nowak, OD regional vice president of the Northern Midwest states. "As we increase our presence in the Northern Midwest region, this updated 20-acre location will allow us to remain committed to providing premium service to our customers."

The newly renovated facility, located near Interstate 35 West, will serve a number of cities in the area, including Minneapolis, St. Paul, St. Cloud, Mankato, Bloomington, Eden Prairie, Burnsville, Plymouth, Eagan, New Ulm, Hutchinson and Western Wisconsin.
