Dayton launches DFXpedited Service

Apr 6, 2015

Dayton Freight Lines, a provider of regional less-than-truckload services, introduced DFXpedited Service for expedited shipments to address same-day and next-day needs. DFX will use ground and air transportation – including cargo vans, tractor-trailers, same-day flights and air charters – to serve all of North America.

The Dayton, Ohio-based company said 24/7 service is available for freight of any weight and dimension, including hazardous materials.
