MV Transportation, Inc. will move global headquarters to Dallas;

The relocation will bring more than 200 jobs to the Dallas area

 

DALLAS – California-based MV Transportation, Inc., one of the nation’s largest privately owned passenger transportation contracting firms today announced that it will relocate its global headquarters to Dallas. MV’s new headquarters will occupy 21,000 square feet of office space on the 11th floor of the Premier Place Office Building at 5910 North Central Expressway (where DART’s Mockingbird Station is located).


The announcement follows the recent establishment of an executive office in Dallas and relocation of the company’s top executives. The company also plans to open a national call center this year in Dallas.


“Moving our headquarters will position MV Transportation to the geographical center of the country, allowing us to better serve our customers and optimize efficiencies,” said MV Transportation CEO Carter Pate. All administrative overhead departments currently in the Fairfield, CA office, including Human Resources, Treasury and IT Support will transition to the new office over the next few months.

“MV Transportation is widely respected as an industry leader, so the move of its headquarters from California to Dallas is a big win for our city,” said Dallas City Council Member and Deputy Mayor Pro Tem Tennell Atkins, who also chairs the City’s Economic Development Committee. “We’re delighted that MV recognizes the economic vitality Dallas offers and has chosen to make our city its home base for future growth and prosperity.”

 

Overall, MV plans to bring more than 200 jobs to the Dallas area in 2012.

“Dallas welcomes MV Transportation to the city with open arms,” said Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings. “The relocation of this leading transportation firm’s headquarters further demonstrates the city’s pro-business climate and our position for continued growth.”  

 

MV Transportation was founded in the San Francisco Bay Area in 1975 and has been headquartered in Fairfield since 1996. The company also operates a support center in Iowa, which will remain the base for the company’s risk management, accounting and finance functions.
