The Oakland location, which has moved to a 61-door facility located on an 8-acre site, will continue operations under the leadership of service center manager Dan Sisneroz, who will direct a staff of 58. “The relocation of the Oakland Service Center will allow us to be more centrally located to all of our customers on a daily basis, which will further enhance our service to the Bay Area,” says Bob Foote, vice president of Old Dominion’s Western region.
