Recently, Outpost announced a partnership with GreenPoint, a firm specializing in real estate investments, securing additional funding that has expanded Outpost's terminal platform valuation to $1 billion. This substantial investment will accelerate the expansion and modernization of Outpost's truck terminal network, aiming to build a more efficient and intelligent truck transportation ecosystem.
