Ohio: A Freight Powerhouse Fueling Expedited Shipping Across the Nation
The state of Ohio stands as one of the most strategically vital logistics and freight transportation hubs in the United States. Situated within a day’s drive of over 60% of the U.S. population and major industrial centers, Ohio offers unmatched access, infrastructure, and capacity for expedited freight services, overnight freight shipping, same day delivery, and air freight transport. With its deep industrial base, extensive highway and air cargo networks, and a central location bridging the Midwest, East Coast, and South, Ohio is the engine behind fast, reliable, and nationwide freight delivery.
At The Expedited Company, we are proud to serve Ohio and the entire region with precision, professionalism, and proven speed. Whether your freight needs to move 50 or 1,500 miles, we have the infrastructure, experience, and operational readiness to handle every detail—quickly and without compromise.
Why Ohio Is Critical to Domestic Freight and Expedited Shipping
1. Centralized Location & Unrivaled Reach
Ohio’s central location gives it direct freight access to markets in the Midwest, Northeast, and South. Major metro areas like Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Dayton, Toledo, and Akron are positioned along high-volume interstate corridors and near major air freight facilities. With an extensive web of rail, ground, and air infrastructure, Ohio provides seamless connections for moving freight efficiently across the country.
This geographic advantage significantly reduces transit time and makes Ohio a top choice for shippers looking to move freight quickly, reliably, and cost-effectively.
2. Interstate Highway Access for Rapid Delivery
Ohio boasts one of the most comprehensive and well-maintained interstate highway systems in the U.S., making it a perfect launch point for expedited ground freight.
Key interstates running through Ohio include:
-
I-70 and I-80: Vital east-west corridors connecting the East Coast to the Midwest.
-
I-71, I-75, and I-77: Major north-south arteries providing direct access to cities like Detroit, Atlanta, Charlotte, and beyond.
-
I-90 and I-76: Serving Northeast Ohio and cross-border shipments into Pennsylvania and New York.
