Monson, MA Drayage Facility Changes Hands

The CrossGlobe Group announced late last month that its Monson, MA facility will be transferred to the Walsh Transportation Group, which will take over operations of the Boston warehouse distribution center by March 1.

The transition is currently in progress, and we believe that the Walsh Transportation Group will continue to provide the same outstanding level of service that our customers have come to expect over the years. The Walsh Transportation Group has a proven track record for excellent customer service and will be able to effectively handle the Monson drayage facility with the same level of commitment and success as The CrossGlobe Group has exhibited.

The CrossGlobe Group’s current marketing agreement with the Walsh Transportation Group will
remain in place, and we will be working diligently during the upcoming month to ensure
that the current customer and vendor base experience a seamless transition.

Evelyn Pennell and her team will continue to handle the daily activities of the facility, which is one of the top Boston warehouse distribution centers in the area.

Bill Franks, the president and CEO of The CrossGlobe Group, said the transition will allow The CrossGlobe Group to put a greater focus on its port-based logistics services.

“We are very pleased to be passing the baton at our Monson facility to the Walsh Transportation Group and believe that our customers are in great hands with such a deeply experienced operator," Franks said. "This agreement allows us to focus our efforts exclusively on our port-based logistics strategy. I am thankful for the hard work and dedication of our Monson based employees and I am confident that this change will benefit both them and the business."

Jerry Gordon, the vice-president of sales and marketing for the Walsh Transportation Group, said he was excited about the changes taking place at the Monson drayage and logistics center.

“The Monson Operation will enable WTG to extend our portfolio of services into an area we have long been looking for, the connection of transload operations from boxcar to 48 state Intermodal and OTR Truckload operations," Gordon said. "We are excited to be able to have the wand passed from CrossGlobe Group to WTG and feel confident that this partnership will benefit everyone."
