A container freight station immediately west of the O’Hare airfield with 24/7/365 operations, handling deconsolidation, TSA screening, and CBP exams for forwarders. Here is how BEExpedite recovers from it, within two hours of acceptance when the freight needs it. 24/7.
Recovering from Global CFS
Global CFS
Global CFS operates container freight station facilities just west of the ORD airfield, with 24/7/365 facilities and operations, handling consolidation and deconsolidation, TSA cargo screening, and CBP exam work. Forwarders commonly recover deconsolidated import freight and screened export freight here.
CFS recoveries have their own rhythm: freight inside a consolidation still needs to be deconsolidated and made available before it can move, and it is recoverable when breakdown is complete and the delivery order is in place. BEExpedite dispatch confirms the release paperwork and pickup requirements before committing the vehicle, so the driver isn’t burning dock time waiting on documents.
From the CFS, freight moves dedicated and direct, local delivery or up to 500 miles across the Midwest, with 15-minute tracking and POD.

The process
From AWB
to 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.
FAQ
Global CFS recovery questions
Is Global CFS near O’Hare open 24/7?
Global CFS lists 24/7/365 facilities and operations. Recovery timing still depends on the individual shipment being deconsolidated and released; dispatch confirms both before committing the truck.
Can BEExpedite pick up from a CFS near O’Hare without the forwarder on site?
Yes. With the delivery order and release paperwork in place, dispatch coordinates the pickup directly with the CFS and the driver recovers against the confirmed documents.
What paperwork does a CFS pickup need?
Typically the delivery order and proof of release; requirements vary by facility and shipment. Dispatch confirms exactly what the CFS requires before the driver is committed.
How fast can a CFS pickup near ORD happen?
Once details and release are confirmed and the shipment is accepted, urgent pickups are met within the same two-hour ORD response window, 24/7, and scheduled pickups at the coordinated time.
