Pyle Opens 44-Door Cincinnati LTL Center in Westward Push

A. Duie Pyle has opened a 44-door less-than-truckload service center in the Cincinnati market, extending its direct freight network into southwest Ohio just two weeks after a 78,760-square-foot warehouse opened in central Pennsylvania.

The West Chester, Pennsylvania-based carrier announced the Cincinnati facility Tuesday. It strengthens freight connections between the Midwest and Pyle's established Northeast and Mid-Atlantic markets. The company expects the site to create 21 jobs initially, with headcount reaching roughly 36 by the end of 2026.

"Growing our network is about being where our customers need us and creating stronger connections between the markets they serve," Frank Granieri, Pyle's chief commercial officer, said in a news release.

What does this change for shippers?

More freight in southwest Ohio now moves entirely inside Pyle's own network. That means fewer intermediate transfers, better service consistency and — the quiet point — less money handed to partner carriers for linehaul.

The opening is part of a westward expansion strategy Pyle announced in 2025, when it laid out plans for additional Ohio service centers to improve transit times and cut reliance on interline partners. In March 2025, John Luciani, chief operating officer for LTL operations, told FreightWaves the company was targeting new terminals in Columbus, Toledo and Cincinnati to widen its direct overnight service footprint.

Two of those three boxes are already ticked, plus. Pyle acquired a former Yellow Corp. terminal in Bowling Green, Ohio, to serve Toledo and leased a facility in Columbus. Cincinnati was the remaining gap. Now it's closed.

A busy year beyond the Northeast

The two newest openings continue a run of investments pushing Pyle beyond its traditional Northeast stronghold:

• Suffolk, Virginia: In January, Pyle acquired a 43-acre site at the Port 460 Logistics Center, near the Port of Virginia — a bet on port-adjacent LTL volume.
• U.S.–Mexico: Over the past year, the carrier has also expanded into cross-border freight transportation.
• Camp Hill, Pennsylvania: On Oct. 6, Pyle announced the 78,760-square-foot warehouse.

The Camp Hill facility sits adjacent to Pyle's existing LTL service center, forming an integrated logistics campus that pairs freight transportation with inventory storage. The location taps several major freight corridors — Interstates 81, 76 and 83, plus U.S. Route 15.

Pyle said the site suits customers in healthcare, medical supplies and manufacturing that need consistent inventory availability and just-in-time replenishment. In plain terms: one campus, one contract, freight and storage under a single roof.

The bigger picture

Founded in 1924, A. Duie Pyle remains privately held and family-owned, offering LTL trucking, dedicated transportation, warehousing and brokerage. That century-old pedigree hasn't stopped it from behaving like a regional carrier with national ambitions.

The stakes here are straightforward. Regional LTL carriers live and die by direct-service coverage; every new terminal converts interline revenue — shared with partners — into wholly owned revenue. Cincinnati, sitting on the I-75 corridor, gives Pyle a direct hand in one of the Midwest's densest manufacturing and distribution markets.

The pattern suggests more to come. With Virginia port acreage, cross-border Mexico capability and three Ohio terminals now live, Pyle's 2025 expansion blueprint is largely built out — and each direct door it adds tightens transit times while quietly pricing interline partners out of its freight.
