Ohio freight seasons

Holiday e-commerce peak

Columbus distribution centers run hardest from October through December, lifting dry van and box truck demand.

Lake-effect winter

Northeast Ohio gets heavy lake-effect snow. We watch the forecast and adjust appointments around storms.

Construction season

Spring through fall brings steel and building material loads for flatbed and step deck.

How we keep Ohio trucks profitable

Short runs to big markets

From Ohio you can reach Chicago, Detroit, Pittsburgh and many East Coast cities in a day, so we can stack several loads a week.

Box trucks do well here

Columbus and Cincinnati have dense regional distribution, which suits box trucks running local and regional freight.

Use the Turnpike wisely

The Ohio Turnpike saves time but costs tolls. We factor tolls into the rate before you accept a load.

Dispatch pricing: from 4% of the gross load

Dispatch fees are 4% of the gross load for dry van, reefer, flatbed, step deck and power only, 6% for box trucks and hotshots, and 10% for sprinter vans, paid only after the broker pays, with no setup fee or contract. Fleet rates are negotiable. See full pricing
