Refrigerated, dry van and power-only truckload from southwest Ohio across the lower 48, with direct communication from pickup through proof of delivery.
Every shipment starts with the same essentials: the right equipment, an honest plan and a clear line of communication. We focus on the freight we are equipped to handle well.
53-foot temperature-controlled truckload for produce, food and other freight that needs disciplined cold-chain handling.
Enclosed 53-foot truckload for palletized and general freight that needs protection from weather and the road.
Tractor and driver for your trailers: preloaded drops, overflow at peak and trailer repositioning.
E D Express has been on the road since 2010. Over the years, its founder’s hands-on experience has included car-carrier, flatbed and step-deck work. That background shaped a practical understanding of securement, timing, equipment and the responsibility behind every load.
Today, E D Express is an Ohio-based carrier running coast to coast with refrigerated, dry van and power-only freight. The founder is still hands-on in the business: involved in dispatch, in the details of each load and in the calls that matter. Every load carries the name on the door.
That background brings more than miles. It brings the judgment to ask the right questions before pickup, speak up when conditions change and follow a shipment through delivery without passing the customer through layers of departments.
A simple operating rhythm gives shippers and brokers the information they need without unnecessary handoffs.

Updates follow the load from pickup through transit.
Delivery is confirmed and proof of delivery follows the move.
