Dayton Freight is Open and Operating!

**UPDATED April 3, 2020

Certain States in the Dayton Freight coverage area have announced restrictions for non-essential, non-life sustaining businesses. Dayton Freight is considered to be an essential, life sustaining business. Therefore, we will pick up and deliver shipments in all areas of our 59 Service Centers throughout our core 14 states.

The states currently effected include: Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, parts of Missouri, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and Wisconsin

What Should Shippers Do?

Our goal is keep the supply chain moving and to assist you with all your shipping needs. In order to do this, we ask that you honor the following:

• Please call the consignee before scheduling a shipment with us to make sure they are open. This is very important and will help operations continue to run smoothly.
• If we cannot deliver due to the consignee being closed, we will have to return your shipment and a charge will occur.
• Due to our capacity limitations, we cannot store freight until the ban is lifted. It’s very important that the shipper is aware of this restraint.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation!
