A fast-growing, Chattanooga-based freight brokerage company plans to double its employee headcount to over 200 by year’s end, and it’s expanding its office footprint to the North Shore.
Trident Transport, cited as the fastest-growing private company in Chattanooga on the 2020 Inc. 5000 list, has invested heavily in technology to aid its expansion, said Chief Commercial Officer Carter Garrett.
Also, the part of the company involved in the home goods and improvement sector has benefited from the direction the economy has moved during the coronavirus pandemic, he said.
Due to the growth, Trident has leased more office space, with plans to shift some of its staff from its two Southside locations downtown to the Signal Mill complex on Manufacturers Road.
Garrett said the company is moving into about 16,000 square feet that was used by Covenant Transport Solutions over the past year.
