FAQs

What makes Oswego a strong location for dedicated warehousing?

From Oswego, freight moves through Chicago’s major corridors without getting caught in its congestion, ideal for consistent outbound flow. With proximity to I-55, I-88, and intermodal terminals like BNSF Logistics Park and UP Global IV, freight can move anywhere in the Midwest within a day. It’s also one of the fastest-growing labor markets in Illinois, which helps maintain stable staffing for warehouse operations.

How does Legacy customize a dedicated warehouse for each customer?

We don’t drop a client into a standard model. Every dedicated operation is engineered around your product mix, service requirements, and systems. Our team builds everything from picking logic and layout, to automation and WMS rules according to your business. Once live, we continuously refine throughput, labor balance, and accuracy based on performance data.

What kind of visibility and control do customers have inside a Legacy-run warehouse?

You’ll have the same level of insight you’d expect if you were running it yourself. Legacy’s WMS integrates with your systems for real-time visibility of inventory, order status, and labor metrics. We also provide performance dashboards and on-site management so you can monitor productivity and accuracy daily.

How does Legacy manage labor in a tight hiring market like Chicagoland?

Legacy’s operations team recruits, trains, and retains local warehouse associates year-round instead of relying on seasonal peaks. We cross-train staff across key functions—receiving, picking, packing, subscription boxes, and returns—so we can flex teams quickly when demand shifts.

What type of operations run best in Legacy’s Oswego facility?

The Oswego location supports high-velocity distribution for eCommerce, retail replenishment, and consumer goods. Many clients use it to serve Midwest demand zones or to complement East Coast and West Coast networks. Its combination of intermodal connectivity and scalable space makes it ideal for companies looking to shorten transit times and improve service consistency across the region.
