About Forward Air Corporation:
Forward Air Corporation operates two business segments, Forward Air,
Inc. and Forward Air Solutions, Inc.
Forward Air, Inc. is a high-service-level contractor to the air cargo
industry providing time-definite ground transportation services through
a network of 84 terminals located on or near major airports in the
United States and Canada. It provides these services as a cost-effective
alternative to air transportation of cargo that must be delivered at a
specific time but is relatively less time-sensitive than traditional air
freight or when air transportation is not economical.
Forward Air Solutions, Inc. is a provider of pool distribution services.
Pool distribution involves the consolidation and shipment of several
smaller less-than-truckload shipments to a common area or region. Once
at the regional destination, the loads are deconsolidated, then grouped
with other shipments with common delivery points, and delivered in a
very precise, time-sensitive manner. Our pool distribution network
consists of 19 terminals within the mid-Atlantic, Southeast, Midwest and
Southwestern United States.
