The Augusta terminal has 44 car spots with separate tracks for food products and can handle both dry and liquid bulk products. The facility features paving, security, full fencing, lighting, 24-hour access, and truck scales. All TBT terminals are open facilities and allow haulage by qualified motor carriers.
