Background

Old Dominion Freight Line, Inc. is a major trucking firm with headquarters in Thomasville, North Carolina.

In late 2004, MCR Services learned that they were purchasing the Consolidated Freightways complex at Alum Creek Drive & State Route 104. We contacted them and over the next few weeks developed a working relationship. After making some basic improvements to the site—on several smaller projects—we received the go-ahead to construct a full-service Truck Maintenance facility on the existing concrete paving.

Challenges

From Concrete Paving to Major Hub

• Removing & recycling the existing concrete paving
• Installation of underground utilities and systems
• Joining the existing building to the new, much larger addition
• Expedited engineering process with established design team and metal building manufacturer to deliver a custom product on an accelerated schedule

Features

Important System Features for a High-Volume Truck Depot

• 18,041 square foot Metal Building Addition
• Heavily-galvanized steel building components for longevity
• Vertical steel exterior siding
• Large truck maintenance areas and drive-in wash bay
• Built-in sophisticated mechanical, lubrication and air systems
• Complete CO2 removal system
• Radiant tube heating
• 2nd Floor mezzanine with easy access to the shop and exterior spaces

Initiative is What Our Clients Need

Taking the initiative is at the heart of MCR Services' culture. By pursuing the interests of a growing company, we were able to develop a new relationship right from the start of their operations in Central Ohio.

We value these opportunities to contribute to their success and provide a quality service facility for the ODFL "trucking empire" that will service their regional needs for years to come.
