Strategic Transload Services, LLC (STS) has announced the opening of a new subsidiary in Cumberland County. Strategic Transload Services, LLC was established in April 2020 in Athens, GA and specializes in the transportation of chemicals. STS of Fayetteville adds the corporation’s eighth location in the Southeast.
Through the CSX Rail line, the company will provide direct rail connectivity from ethanol plants in the Midwest to the fuel depot located off Murchison Road, which supplies the vast majority of Fayetteville.
“Supplying the terminal with direct rail will displace two hundred and fifty trucks per month coming into the Fayetteville market, making this a safe and more secure process for fuel transportation,” said Von Friesen, Principal of STS in a press release. “The FCEDC staff was extremely helpful with securing the right location for our expansion.”
The property where STS of Fayetteville will operate is part of an idle landfill. “We were able to repurpose a piece of land, add a new customer to CSX’s Class 1 Rail network, and create a more economical channel for ethanol customers,” stated Executive Vice President of FCEDC Rob Patton in a press release.
“We are pleased to welcome STS of Fayetteville to our community,” said FCEDC Board Chair Kathryn Cox in a press release. “Their cost-effective procedure is a great fit and will continue to strengthen the rail business.”
