INDIANAPOLIS - Celadon Logistics, a subsidiary of Celadon Group, Inc. (NYSE: CGI), announced that it has opened a sales office in the greater Columbus area. As a leading logistics provider, Celadon Logistics has experienced incredible growth over the past several years, which has necessitated the opening of several regional offices, including this operation in central Ohio.
The Columbus office will offer all the transportation solutions proved by the other regional offices and will focus on better serving their current and future customers in the region. Trent Dye, a logistics professional with 20 years of transportation experience, has been hired as General Manager of the office. He is currently a member of the Truckload Carrier Association's Board of Directors as well as serving on the board for the Ohio Trucking Association.
