How does the Columbus office support carrier development?

We focus on building and strengthening carrier relationships across the Midwest and East. By developing consistent lanes and capacity partnerships, we help ensure customers have reliable options even during peak demand or tight markets.

What international transportation options are available near Columbus?

Columbus is home to Rickenbacker International, one of the country’s few cargo-dedicated airports, with regular global service from major freighters. Combined with FTZ #138 and nearby intermodal rail, Columbus supports both import and export freight movements seamlessly.

Can Columbus handle both regional and long-haul transportation needs?

Yes. Columbus’s interstate access makes it an efficient hub for regional moves to cities like Cleveland, Cincinnati, and Pittsburgh, while also providing reliable linehaul service to the East Coast and Midwest. This balance gives shippers flexibility to cover multiple service areas from a single location.

What role does technology play in transportation operations?

Legacy integrates advanced transportation management systems (TMS) that provide real-time tracking, electronic data interchange (EDI), and carrier performance monitoring. These tools help customers gain complete visibility into their freight.

FAQs

What equipment do you work with?

We partner with carriers running dry van, reefer, flatbed, step-deck, intermodal, and specialized equipment. If your operation is safe, reliable, and built on good communication, we’ll find work that fits what you run. If you’re unsure whether your setup qualifies, our team can walk you through it in a few minutes.

Do you offer Quick Pay?

Yes, you can choose Quick Pay if you want fast turnaround, or stick with standard ACH if that fits your cash flow better. We’re flexible because every carrier manages money differently. Just let us know what works best for you, and we’ll set up your payments accordingly.

Do you work in the U.S. and Canada?

We operate across the U.S. and Canada, including cross-border work for carriers who want it. If you prefer to stay regional or run specific corridors, we’ll match you with work that keeps you where you want to be. If you do run cross-border, our team handles the coordination so you don’t get stuck.

How long does onboarding take?

Most carriers are approved the same day they apply. Once we verify your authority, insurance, and safety record, you’re ready to start. If anything looks off or we need clarification, we’ll reach out.

How will I get work updates?

You’ll get updates the way you prefer — through our portal, email, or direct communication with your rep. Everything is designed to cut down on check calls and keep your schedule predictable.

Who do I contact if something comes up?

You’ll have a direct point of contact who knows your business and can help if something comes up. For urgent situations outside normal hours, our support team is available 24/7.

What regions do you support?

We cover major corridors across the U.S. and Canada, including high-demand retail, manufacturing, Midwest, Southeast, and cross-border markets.

What insurance do I need to get started?

You’ll need the standard coverage required to operate safely and legally: auto liability, cargo, and an active authority or CA/MC/DOT number. If you’re unsure whether your policies meet requirements, our team can review everything with you and flag anything that needs updating.
