Dupré Logistics has opened a new branch in the Sacramento, Calif., area to serve what the company says is one of the fastest growing markets in the country.

The new location is located in Roseville, Calif., 20 miles east of Sacremento. David Joiner has been brought on as the branch manager, bringing with him nearly two decades of experience in the industry, including 10 years with CH Robinson and, most recently, seven years with USA Truck.

In preparation for the office opening, Dupré hired three people in June and three more in July to work at the Sacramento site. Dupré is an asset-based provider of logistics services that includes freight brokerage, intermodal. and transportation management.

“With California being the fifth biggest economy in the world, having a solid presence in the state is extremely important,” said Joiner. “With offices now in Northern and Southern California, Dupré is strategically positioned to make the vision a reality.”
