Access America Transport has begun another new chapter of transportation to add to their expertise of the industry.  AAT is happy to announce the Less Than Truckload Division (LTL) for all offices.  We have noticed a need that not all shipments are full
truckload or flatbed and we wanted to save our customers time, trouble and money in all aspects of shipping nationwide.  Less Than Truckload will continue the great success that we have already established by adding on many common carriers to our fleet of carrier partners and will do it at your finger-tips.  We are offering an on-line tool that will give you quotes, transit times, book shipments and manage all of your LTL shipments.  This system will also allow you to keep an address book of shippers/receivers, as well as allow you to streamline your future shipments.  Bottom line is that AAT will be able to virtually move any type of shipment you have and will be the leaders in the industry at doing so.  Please contact Andy Ellington x 101 about your LTL needs…

Our newest office has just opened in Eufaula, AL.  Check out the article written by Lisa Mathis of the Eufaula Tribune.

 

Press Release -

 

“Trucking Company Now Open”

 

Access America Transport officially opened the doors to a downtown Eufaula office Monday, but this wasn’t the beginning of the business.

 

Ted Alling and Barry Large began AAT in 2002 as a flat bed trucking company.  Since then the company has expanded to include refrigerated trucks and van freight and now services the southeast United States.  Their website states, “We are a PowerTrack enabled, DOD and GSA approved transportation provider with full truckload, flatbed, step deck, RGN transportation services."

 

This year executives decided to expand their transport business to encompass the Wiregrass.

 

We wanted to help the whole Wiregrass region, I feel there’s a real need in the area because of the commodities produced there,” explained Ted Alling, AAT president.

 

How can they help?

 

AAT is a “trucking logistics company.”  It specializes in getting freight hauled.

 

We work with any size trucking company to help them find loads,” Alling said.  For example, a man that has just dropped a load in Dothan is headed home to Chicago.  He could find a load to haul on his trip home by calling AAT.

 

Will this change the look of downtown?

 

The company is renting the office that is “pretty much just a sales office,” Alling said. 

 

There have been no major alterations to this building; nor will there be any trucks and/or trailers present on the property.

 

The downtown Eufaula office is the third branch to be opened by the Chattanooga, TN, based business.  The other branches are in Birmingham and Minneapolis, MN.  Becky Johnston Ryland is employed as Eufaula branch manager.

 

We’re very excited to be here.  We look forward to serving and meeting the needs or shippers and carriers throughout the tri-state area,” Ryland stated.  Amy Clark Little is also on the staff as an account manager.

 

Ryland and Little can be reached at 334-688-1094 or 866-902-8815.  The office is located above RE/MAX Real Estate at 111 E. Broad Street, and their hours of operation are 8 a.m. – 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.
