By locating terminals on or near airports and maintaining a scheduled transportation network, we are able to arrange for convenient and consistent service with broad geographic coverage. The strategic placement of our stations and sort centers create a network that reduces overall linehaul miles between points and increases routing opportunities. This provides us with the ability to transport freight in our network in a more expedited fashion than traditional LTL ground transportation. We operate our service through 91 stations and 12 regional sorting hubs and offer over 2.9 million square feet of warehouse space.
