The Kearney Companies, Inc., (Kearney) a third-party logistics (3PL) firm based in New Orleans, La., has reported completing an expansion of its transportation management and logistics service offerings. The firm is a wholly owned subsidiary of Precision Terminal Logistics (PTL), which operates 24 rail-served transload terminals in 15 states and was established in 2019 by Anacostia Rail Holdings Company and Brown Brothers Harriman Capital Partners Opportunities Fund, L.P.
Kearney said that it now offers specialized transportation and logistics services, including full-scale truck brokerage services, rail freight management and rail logistics support, barge freight management and barge logistics support, commodity warehousing, bulk and break-bulk truck/rail transloading, and other related logistics services. This service expansion will benefit both new and existing Kearney customers, as well as current and future PTL customers in the various independent rail/truck transload terminals operated by PTL (e.g., Jackson, Miss.; Jeffersonville, Ind.; Louisville, Ky.; San Antonio, Tex.; New Orleans, La.; and Savannah, Ga.).
Kearney also offers commodity warehousing and barge, rail, and truck transloading services; and break bulk trucking and container services.
“It has always been our goal to provide end-to-end transportation solutions for customers with service needs to/from our existing terminals in New Orleans and Savanah,” said Kearney President David Kearney. “Now, with this service expansion, we can offer these same ‘end to end’ logistics and transportation services in any location where we do not necessarily have a physical terminal/warehouse presence. Our idea is to function as an extension of our customers and follow them wherever they need our transportation and logistics services.”
