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 Storefront Retail Supply Chains

Store Replenishment Falls Behind Demand

When product doesn’t arrive on schedule, shelves sit empty and sales quickly drop. Frequent restocks stretch drivers and warehouse teams thin. With better route coordination and local distribution, you can maintain steady flow to every store.

Poor Visibility Between DCs and Stores Causes Overstocks

Without real-time tracking, stores reorder what’s already in transit. That leads to crowded shelves and wasted freight. Unified visibility connects store orders and shipments, eliminating guesswork and excess.

Seasonal Peaks Overload Transportation Networks

Holiday surges strain carrier capacity and cause delivery delays. Fixed fleets can’t always match rising order volume. Scalable transportation networks handle spikes without disrupting store deliveries.

Returns Disrupt Distribution Flow

Unsorted returns from stores pile up at DCs and slow throughput. Reverse logistics built for retail ensures products move back to stock or disposal quickly and efficiently.

Complex Routes Waste Time

Multi-store deliveries create tight windows and long dwell times. Instead of solving it, manual planning only increases idle time and fuel cost. But route optimization reduces downtime and increases delivery consistency.

Inconsistent Delivery Windows Disrupt Store Flow

When shipments show up early or late, staff struggle to receive inventory and restock on schedule. Those missed windows slow merchandising and frustrate customers waiting on new products. Consistent delivery timing restores predictability across every location.
