Perkins Specialized Transportation, a contract trucking firm, will invest $14.9 million to expand its operations in Noblesville, Indiana, according to the Indiana governor's office. The company, which provides long-haul and regional truckload distribution throughout the continental United States, plans to create 20 new positions for drivers and support staff over the next year. "The Saxony Corporate Center and Noblesville offered us an opportunity to expand our corporate headquarters, providing better and more modern facilities for our associates, as well as easy access for our drivers who frequently visit to conduct business with our departments. We're very excited to be here," says Andy Card, Perkins' president and CEO. Incentives offered to the company include up to $43,000 in training grants from the state contingent on job creation.
