Our Ohio lanes, and how often the truck comes back loaded
Ohio's real advantage is not the freight going out. It is the freight coming back. Every lane below is from our own book. We choose where to send you based on what is coming out of that area, not just what pays to go in.
How often the truck came back loaded on each lane. We show states only, not cities, driver names, or broker names. More on reefer on the reefer dispatch page, van detail on the dry van page.
What years on these roads actually gets you
Any dispatch service will tell you they cover Ohio. Here is the difference between covering a place and knowing it.
We know what the load back pays on a Tuesday in July
Most of our 9,561 loads have run on I-70 and I-71. That is not a claim about coverage. It is three years on the same roads, in every season, through a bad market and out the other side.
We know which brokers on these roads actually pay
We have run almost 600 loads with one broker on these lanes. We know who pays in 21 days and who says 30 days and takes 50. You can check a broker's credit before you take the load, and on a short lane it decides your cash flow more than the rate does.
Ohio freight comes back, so we book the round trip
That is Ohio's advantage. Four of our regular van lanes have every truck coming back loaded, and the Texas reefer run comes back loaded 98 times out of 100. We choose where to send you based on what is coming out, not just what pays to go in.
Being home matters, so we plan for it
If you want to be home on Friday, your Thursday load has to be chosen on Tuesday. Short round trips are the only way that works every week, and that is what we book.
Ohio cities we dispatch out of
We do not have an office you can walk into in these cities, and we will not pretend we do. What we have is three years of loads running in and out of all of them.
Columbus
The middle of everything. I-70 and I-71 cross here, and so do most of our loads.
Cleveland
The north end of I-71. Good reefer loads from the cold storage warehouses near the lake.
Cincinnati
The south end of I-71 and the way into Kentucky and Tennessee.
Toledo
I-75 and the Michigan runs. One of our best round trips for coming back loaded.
Dayton
Where I-70 and I-75 cross. Van loads that pair well with the Indiana runs.
Akron / Canton
North-east Ohio factory freight that feeds the Pennsylvania and Carolina lanes.
Not based in Ohio?
We book loads in all 48 states and we dispatch drivers who never go near Ohio. But we will be straight with you. Ohio is where we know the brokers best, and where we can tell you what the load back pays on a Tuesday in July without looking it up.
Our reefer runs go into Texas and the produce markets. Our van runs cover Michigan, Wisconsin, Indiana, Iowa, the Carolinas, Georgia, Tennessee, Missouri, and Alabama. If your lanes cross any of those, bring your numbers to a call and we will tell you honestly whether we are right for you.
Based in Minneapolis or St. Paul? That is our other main area: see Minnesota truck dispatch.
