PGT Trucking Inc., announced it is expanding its operations in Laredo, Texas, with the purchase of land to build a logistics center, according to the company's news release.

Laredo is the primary hub for international shipments, and PGT said its centrally-located facility will help further its operational reach, which includes more than 4,000 cross-border loads annually. The 7.73-acre property is located in the Pinnacle Industry Center, according to PGT.
