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.

Visibility that Drove 99.9% Accuracy for a Global Electronics Brand

An electronics brand importing from overseas needed more control over container visibility and international freight coordination to speed up order processing. Legacy took on the role of international transportation provider, improving management of inbound ocean containers. With earlier shipment visibility, inventory could be pre-received and allocated to orders before arrival.

As a result, they saw improved container-level oversight and earlier data flow streamlined fulfillment operations, faster order turnaround and tighter integration between ocean freight and outbound delivery.

Legacy also implemented a supply chain solution to improve facility operations and inventory control. By relocating and managing a new distribution center, inventory accuracy increased, customer chargebacks dropped, and landed cost per unit was significantly reduced.

Results

Inventory accuracy reached a consistent 99.9%
Customer chargebacks dropped by 25%
Landed cost per unit was significantly reduced
