An experienced RoadOne executive team will head up the new Houston branch office, including: Andy Blanchard, Senior VP of Operations for the West Coast; Brian McAlexander, VP of Sales for Southwest Division, Mark Avila, VP of Operations for Southwest, and Larry Cabrera, Terminal Manager in Houston.

“With this expansion, we now have five U.S. RoadOne territories with dedicated teams committed to helping customers streamline cargo flows to achieve optimal supply chain performance.
