Columbus sits at the intersection of I-70 and I-71 — one of the Midwest's most strategic trucking crossroads, connecting Kansas City to Baltimore and Cleveland to Louisville — and that freight density makes it a significant market for fleet mechanic staffing year-round. Rickenbacker International Airport, operating as a cargo-only facility, has become one of the most important air freight hubs in the Midwest, with FedEx, UPS, and USPS ground transport fleets servicing cargo operations from the southeast Columbus industrial zone. Columbus-headquartered retail giants Big Lots and Limited Brands operate large private DC truck fleets for national distribution, adding a corporate fleet maintenance layer that few similarly-sized cities can match.
