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.

Challenges for Retail Supply Chains

Too Much Inventory, or Not Enough

Without accurate data, stock looks available when it’s not, or disappears when it is. Clear forecasting and connected systems create tighter control and predictability over store and eCommerce inventory management.

Without Integration, Mistakes Multiply

Disconnected tools make it impossible to see what’s moving and where, from inaccurate or missing warehouse data to sudden inventory inflation caused by returns. Linking warehouse and order data into one view closes those gaps and prevents costly surprises later.

Delivery Delays Hurt More Than Margins

Late deliveries drive customers away. They also raise carrier costs and throw future schedules off balance. Smarter routing maintains flexible retail transportation and adapts quickly when demand shifts.

Sloppy Returns Drain Profit

Messy returns processes leave valuable stock buried in the backlog. As a result, warehouses fill up and working capital sits idle. Streamlined eCommerce and retail reverse logistics get items checked, restocked, and back to sale faster.

Warehouse Inefficiencies Drive Up Cost

A slow warehouse disrupts every part of fulfillment. Bottlenecks delay shipments and drive up labor costs. By simplifying layouts and improving flow, you raise productivity and lower overall spend.

Transportation Buckles Under Demand Swings

Retail demand can double overnight while available trucks stay the same. Without flexibility, shipments back up and service breaks down. Scalable networks keep goods moving, even when volumes surge.
