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.

Improving Retail Distribution Performance Through Dedicated Transportation

“A Fortune 500 membership-based retailer partnered with Legacy to stabilize and improve warehouse distribution and dedicated transportation performance across Southern California. After inconsistent service, poor delivery visibility, and rising costs with an incumbent provider, the retailer sought a partner that could deliver tighter execution, proactive communication, and measurable service improvement.

Legacy assumed full responsibility for shipment sequencing and delivery coordination, supported by daily operational communication, EDI connectivity, and real-time tracking tools. By optimizing pickup and delivery order, enforcing same-day shipment processing, and reducing empty miles, Legacy improved service reliability, lowered transportation waste, and aligned execution with the retailer’s sustainability goals.”
