Barnes Business Spotlight

Drayage Division Expansion

One of our significant successes here at the Barnes organization has been the startup of our CONTAINER DRAYAGE DIVISION.

Started in 2019, serving the Port of Norfolk, and spearheaded by Stan Woods, we now have 30 plus drivers and a dispatch staff of 5! We recently promoted one of our own, Stacia Burton, to the position of Manager in that department.

Expansion of this service to the Port of Savannah is now in progress.

Customers served include large third-party logistics firms as well as steamship lines. Both local and long haul dray service is provided and we see the potential for unlimited growth in the coming years.
