Dedicated carrier capacity
How it runs
A confirmed vehicle at O’Hare when the freight needs it: within two hours of acceptance on urgent recoveries, on time for scheduled ones. 24/7.
Dispatch coordinates the O’Hare cargo facility or CFS pickup, driver access, equipment, and release requirements before arrival. Freight moves from release into a dedicated vehicle and direct to delivery.
ORD recoveries are won or lost before the truck moves. Alliance Ground alone operates from several buildings across Patton Drive and Express Center Drive, United Airlines freight recovers from Building 630 on the cargo access road, and the single most common delay at O’Hare is a driver sent to the wrong dock on nothing but an airline name. BEExpedite dispatch pulls the exact building from the release or recovery instructions and verifies it against the air waybill before the vehicle is committed — the standing rule that keeps the two-hour response meaningful.
The other discipline is the release itself. A master air waybill showing “arrived” is not freight that can move: it may still need breakdown, customs release, or the handler actually making it available, and general cargo typically has only 24 to 48 hours of free time before storage charges start. Dispatch confirms the shipment is released and physically ready — and tracks the last free day — so the driver arrives to recover, not to queue, and the freight beats the storage clock instead of feeding it.
