Handling at Building 630 operated with FARO Cargo Handling Solutions

O’Hare is one of United Airlines’ largest hubs, and United Cargo freight at ORD is recovered from the main cargo facility at Building 630 on the airport cargo access road. FARO Cargo Handling Solutions operates cargo handling from the same building, so recovery instructions for United freight commonly reference either name.

The facility includes a security vault for high-value shipments and supports electronic air waybills, which suits the pharma and high-value freight BEExpedite moves on dedicated vehicles. As at every ORD handler, the freight is recoverable once it shows released and physically available, not merely arrived.

BEExpedite dispatch confirms the release, the dock, and any facility requirements against the air waybill before committing the vehicle. Urgent recoveries are met at ORD within two hours of acceptance, 24/7; scheduled recoveries at the coordinated time, then the freight moves dedicated and direct with 15-minute tracking to POD.

From AWB
to POD.

  1. 01
    Send 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.

  2. 02
    Capacity 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.

  3. 03
    Freight recovered

    The driver checks in at the dock, recovers the freight, and verifies the count against the air waybill before rolling.

  4. 04
    Direct to delivery

    One dedicated vehicle, no cross-dock, live tracking with 15-minute location updates, and proof of delivery at close.

I have worked with Amin and his team for about a year now. Anytime I have anything out of Chicago area, he is the only person I reach out to. Him and his team are always flexible, patient and understanding in an industry where we see hiccups all the time. It has been an awesome experience working with their team and will continue to do so!
