When it comes to building a resilient, scalable supply chain, location is everything. FST Logistics strategically operates out of two key logistics hubs: Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) and Columbus, Ohio. These warehouse locations aren’t just convenient; they’re purposefully chosen to optimize national distribution, improve delivery speed, and help brands meet growing consumer and retail demands. Here’s how these locations work to your advantage.
Reach Over 90% of the U.S. Population Within Two Days
Both DFW and Columbus are centrally located to provide unmatched access to major U.S. markets. In fact, shipments from these hubs can reach more than 90% of the country within just two days via ground transportation. This geographic advantage allows for faster delivery, reduced transportation costs, and better service for both retail partners and end consumers.
National Distribution Powerhouse
The Columbus region is one of the top inland ports in the U.S., with proximity to major highways, railways, and air cargo facilities. Similarly, the DFW area is a major freight hub with access to key interstates, international airports, and cross-border shipping routes. With warehouses in both locations, FST offers a truly national reach that supports coast-to-coast distribution and rapid scalability.
Improved Retail Compliance and On-Time Delivery
Retailers are increasing their compliance standards, requiring on-time, in-full deliveries to distribution centers across the country. By operating from DFW and Columbus, FST reduces transit times and increases delivery reliability. This geographic positioning helps brands meet retailer expectations, avoid fines, and ensure greater shelf availability during high-demand seasons.
Optimized Freight Consolidation and Cost Savings
FST’s proprietary Point to Point Consolidation Network benefits significantly from its Columbus and DFW footprint. With the ability to consolidate freight from multiple clients, we can deliver full truckload efficiencies with less-than-truckload (LTL) shipments. This not only reduces costs but also improves service consistency and minimizes damage from excessive handling.
Temperature-Controlled and Dry Storage Options
Both DFW and Columbus facilities are equipped with food-grade, dry, and temperature-controlled storage environments. Whether you’re storing ambient, refrigerated, or frozen goods, FST’s warehouses are certified and optimized for safety, compliance, and flexibility. Our ability to handle a range of product types from multiple industries makes us a go-to 3PL partner.
Business Continuity and Operational Resilience
By leveraging two warehouse locations in separate regions, FST provides added protection against weather disruptions, regional emergencies, or supply chain bottlenecks. This multi-location model supports continuity of service, enhances fulfillment agility, and gives clients peace of mind during uncertain times.
