When you’re running a successful business, reliability isn’t just desired—it’s demanded. At On Time Delivery & Warehouse, our commitment to delivering freight “Intact, On-Time, Every Time” isn’t just a slogan. It’s the foundation of our business model that has positioned us as Northeast Ohio’s premier third-party logistics and Cleveland trucking provider for more than four decades.

The Cleveland Advantage in Supply Chain Management

Cleveland’s strategic location at the crossroads of major transportation networks offers unparalleled advantages for businesses seeking efficient logistics solutions. With direct access to major interstate highways (I-90, I-80, I-71, and I-77), our Cleveland trucking operations can reach over 60% of North America’s manufacturing capacity within a single day’s drive.

According to the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Bureau of Transportation Statistics, freight movements in the Great Lakes region have increased by 17% over the past five years, with trucking accounting for 73% of the total freight value moved. Our strategically-positioned facility in Middleburg Heights capitalizes on this regional advantage while offering comprehensive 3PL and 4PL solutions tailored to your specific needs.

Our integrated approach to logistics means we don’t just move your freight—we optimize its journey from origin to destination through a variety of specialized services:

Intermodal Excellence

Our partnerships with CSX Rail and Norfolk Southern Railway enable seamless transitions between rail and road transportation, reducing costs and environmental impact while maintaining delivery schedules. We manage the complex intermodal handoffs so you don’t have to worry about coordination between different transportation modes.

For international shipments, our air and ocean freight management services connect your cargo to global markets through Cleveland Hopkins International Airport and the Port of Cleveland, with our drayage services ensuring smooth transitions from port or airport to final destination.
