Important Freight Solutions Toledo Can Count On
Located in Lucas County just south of the Michigan border, Toledo has always been a titan of industry. The city rose to prominence as a center of glass manufacturing, and became so widely known for that activity that many called it the Glass City. It was also a center of automotive manufacturing, benefiting from its quality infrastructure, skilled workforce, and proximity to Michigan. While both industries still exist in Toledo, the city has also diversified in recent years, becoming a center for aquaponics, solar energy, and other “green industry” jobs. AirFreight.com is excited to be a part of Toledo’s perennially dynamic economy.

Toledo Air Freight Strategy
As a historic manufacturing center, Toledo’s economy is integrated thoroughly with those of the broader Midwest and, ultimately, all of North America. Any critical air cargo strategy for Toledo thus has to account for the challenges of shipping out of other cities across the continent. AirFreight.com has prepared for this by building a dense North American network of airline affiliates. Name any city where you purchase your supplies, and we’re sure to have at least one affiliated airline in the area. These airlines let us know their flight schedules and make it easy for us to book space for our clients, so that organizing an air shipment is often as simple as a phone call. Combined with our careful planning, flight monitoring, and supplemental ground transit coordination, we’re able to direct swift deliveries into Toledo from a wide variety of locations. Regardless of your starting point, we’ll get you your supplies in less than a day.
Single Point of Contact (SPOC)
When we say we can coordinate a delivery in less than a day, we don’t just expect you to take our word for it. AirFreight.com offers a single point of contact (SPOC) that you can call at any time, day or night, for detailed information on our Toledo urgent air cargo handling strategy. Whether you’re urgently looking for someone to solve your shipping crisis or just examining your options in preparation for future crises, you can call us for a comprehensive breakdown of all our services. Likewise, if you’ve already placed an order with us, you can call our SPOC to speak to the team coordinating your order, who will be happy to tell you the present location of the order, the remaining steps in the delivery, and the likely arrival time. In either case, you’ll have direct access to the people best positioned to answer your questions and will learn exactly what we can do for you.
Concierge-Level Air Cargo Customer Service
AirFreight.com is a concierge expeditor, which means we tailor our services to clients’ needs rather than making our clients rely on a rigid set of delivery solutions. When you first place an order, we make a point to learn everything we can about it. By gathering as many details as possible, we make it easier to select the service that best matches your situation and to tweak it in any ways necessary to make it a good fit. While we gather this information, we explain to you all the different ways we can get your items to Toledo on your timeline, making sure to highlight options that are especially fast, particularly secure, or otherwise uniquely suited to certain kinds of orders. Once you find the service that’s best for you, just pick it, and we’ll get to work; you can then play as active or inactive a role as you want while we coordinate the delivery.
Air Freight
Air freight is the most traditional type of expedited air service, and it's largely a matter of managing existing transportation plans. On any given day, there are countless direct flights into Toledo from a broad array of other cities. Some cities don’t have direct flights to Toledo, but delivery within 24 hours is still possible by scheduling a flight from the starting city to the midpoint, and then from the midpoint to Toledo. This process is simple in theory, but in practice, it can be difficult to choose among multiple direct and connecting flight options, each with different risks and advantages. AirFreight.com is an expert at choosing the most robust air route into Toledo. We’ll compare a wide range of scheduled flights based on length, speed, weather forecasts, and airport traffic, selecting the one that will most reliably bring you your items on time. We then track your flight to make sure it completes the order without interruption.
Air Charter
If standard air freight is about managing existing plans, air charters are about changing plans. When your business needs an emergency order from a location that doesn’t have direct flights or even reasonable connecting flights to Toledo, AirFreight.com can get our partner airlines to schedule a new flight. Because it was scheduled for you, this flight will carry only your goods, and will wait to leave until those supplies are on board. And because it doesn't serve any other city, there’s no need for this flight to take any route other than the most direct one to Toledo. Air charters are valuable for companies dealing with particularly dire shipping crises, as well as those using supplies from especially remote locations.
Same-Day Hand-Carry
When you’re desperately trying to find a cargo flight to Toledo within 24 hours, you might think you’ll have to forego your usual security measures. Not with AirFreight.com! Even when we have no prior notice, we take maximal precautions to keep each order secure and undisturbed. For especially valuable or confidential items, we can even assign a courier from our professional network to pick your goods up and hold onto them during the flight. Known as same-day hand-carry services, this option ensures that someone is guarding your supplies the whole way and keeping others from looking at them. Same-day hand-carry is especially valuable for high-tech Toledo businesses that have significant trade-secrets or rely on small, high-value supplies.
