Trucking in Wilmington, OH

Wilmington demonstrates how a single logistics facility can transform a small town's economy. The Wilmington Air Park — a former Clinton County Air Force Base that became DHL's North American hub — now hosts Air Transport Services Group (ATSG), which operates one of the largest cargo aircraft fleets in the world. ATSG flies for Amazon Air, DHL, and the U.S. military, and every package that moves by air needs a truck at both ends of the journey. Amazon Air's growing operations at the Air Park have brought new jobs and freight demand to the region. R+L Carriers, one of the best-regarded LTL carriers in the industry, is also headquartered nearby, adding another major trucking employer. Wilmington's position roughly equidistant from Dayton, Columbus, and Cincinnati puts it within easy reach of three major Ohio freight markets. The extremely low cost of living — this is rural Ohio — makes it one of the most affordable places in the country to base a trucking career, and the concentration of air cargo and LTL operations ensures steady freight demand.
