Outpost and GreenPoint expand truck terminal platform to $1 billion capacity

Outpost and GreenPoint expand truck terminal platform to $1 billion capacity

New capital lifts Outpost platform to $1 billion

Austin, Texas–based Outpost, which operates a national network of truck terminals, said this month it has secured additional investment with GreenPoint, a real assets investment firm, increasing the scale of Outpost’s terminal platform to $1 billion.

How the Outpost platform is structured

Outpost combines physical sites, on-site operations and proprietary technology to create a nationwide terminal network intended to help fleets grow more efficiently and lower operating costs. The company positions its terminals as shared infrastructure that supports scaling without requiring fleet owners to make large real estate commitments.

Background on the GreenPoint partnership

Outpost has been working with GreenPoint since the launch of GreenPoint’s initial $500 million industrial outdoor storage platform in 2023. The newly announced infusion of $500 million of additional capital doubles the size of Outpost’s truck terminal platform from $500 million to $1 billion.

Leadership perspective on benefits for fleets

Outpost CEO Trent Cameron said the new funding will speed the roll‑out of additional terminals and increase flexibility for fleets. He noted larger enterprise customers will be able to scale operations in more markets without the capital burden of owning and developing property, while midsize fleets will gain access to denser terminal coverage that narrows the gap with larger carriers.

Planned deployment of capital and service expansion

Cameron said Outpost is aggressively investing to acquire and develop terminals in major U.S. logistics hubs and to strengthen its presence in markets where it already operates. The company is also broadening the services available at its sites and enhancing its gate automation technology in collaboration with customers.

  • Expanded services include:
  • Office space
  • Cross-docking
  • Maintenance facilities
  • Warehouse space
  • Fuel services

Recent property acquisitions and market footprint

In June Outpost announced four property acquisitions across key freight corridors: Dallas, the Inland Empire in Southern California, Las Vegas and Savannah. The Las Vegas and Savannah purchases represent Outpost’s first facilities in Nevada and Georgia, respectively.

The company said these sites continue its shift from standalone fleet yards to full-service, shared-use terminals that typically combine cross-docks, maintenance operations, warehouses, office space and drop-yard acreage. That mix is intended to give fleets more operational options without long-term real estate commitments.

Network size and customer base

Outpost reported its terminal network now includes more than 25 assets covering more than 400 acres. The firm says it serves a diverse and expanding customer base of over 3,000 users, including national carriers, regional fleets and enterprise shippers.

Gate automation platform and estimated cost savings

Last month Outpost introduced a gate automation platform aimed at shippers, enterprise fleets and terminal operators. The company says the technology targets significant avoidable costs associated with gate operations — driven by labor, security and theft, and processing bottlenecks — which Outpost estimates total about $6.7 billion per year based on its analysis of facility labor benchmarks and terminal counts from government and proprietary data.

GreenPoint’s view of the investment

GreenPoint founder and CEO Chris Green described Outpost as the kind of vertically integrated, infrastructure-led business with proprietary technology that GreenPoint seeks to build. He said the platform is designed to deliver long-term value for fleets, shippers and the wider supply chain.
