Expedited lane · ≈ 65 miles · about 1 hour 15 minutes
ORD to
Sturtevant.
One of BEExpedite’s most frequent runs: O’Hare cargo north into the Racine County manufacturing corridor, usually dock-to-dock in under two hours of driving.
The lane
O’Hare to Sturtevant, Wisconsin
Sturtevant sits just off I-94 in Racine County, in the manufacturing corridor that runs between Chicago and Milwaukee. For a dedicated vehicle leaving the O’Hare cargo area, it is roughly 65 miles and about an hour and fifteen minutes of driving, which makes this one of the tightest same-day lanes BEExpedite runs, and one of the most frequent.
The rhythm of the lane is set by ORD release times. Freight that clears the handler in the early afternoon is on a Sturtevant dock before the end of the receiving shift the same day. Even an evening release can deliver the same night where the consignee receives after hours, or first thing the next morning on a scheduled appointment.
Most Sturtevant moves are palletized production freight: imported components and materials recovered at ORD and delivered straight into plants and distribution buildings along the corridor. A Sprinter covers the small urgent shipments; the 24-foot dry box truck with liftgate and pallet jack handles full recoveries up to 14 pallets or 12,000 lb. Every move is one dedicated vehicle, no cross-dock, with 15-minute tracking and POD at close.

The process
From ORD recovery
to Sturtevant POD.
- 01Send the AWB and shipment details
Air waybill, pieces, dimensions, weight, commodity, the exact pickup facility and building, release status, the pickup window, receiving hours, any special handling or appointment, and a contact name and phone. The details forwarders most often forget are the exact pickup location and the recovery instructions, so dispatch confirms both before anything moves.
- 02Capacity committed
Equipment is matched, Sprinter or dry box truck, and a TSA + TWIC credentialed driver is assigned. Urgent ORD recoveries get a vehicle at the facility within two hours of acceptance; scheduled recoveries arrive at the coordinated time.
- 03Freight recovered
The driver checks in at the dock, recovers the freight, and verifies the count against the air waybill before rolling.
- 04Direct to delivery
One dedicated vehicle, no cross-dock, live tracking with 15-minute location updates, and proof of delivery at close.
The two-hour O’Hare response window begins after shipment details, pickup authority, facility requirements, and equipment fit are confirmed, and is committed on a need basis. Scheduled pickups arrive at the coordinated time, with timing adjusted to the facility and release.
