A. Duie Pyle, a 102-year-old family-owned supply chain and less-than-truckload provider, has opened a new 44-door service center in Greater Cincinnati, the company announced October 20, 2026. The facility is at 6549 Allen Road in West Chester Township, OH 45069, giving the company a base for serving Southwest Ohio and connecting the region to its wider freight network.
The company is based in West Chester, Pennsylvania. In less-than-truckload, or LTL, shipping, freight from multiple customers is moved through a network of service centers rather than filling an entire trailer for one shipper, making the location and reach of each center important to how the network functions.
The opening extends Pyle’s direct LTL network into Southwest Ohio. The company said the center strengthens freight connections between Ohio, the Northeast, and the Mid-Atlantic, linking Cincinnati-region customers more directly with markets it already serves in those parts of the country.
The center is expected to add 21 jobs at opening and employ approximately 36 people by the end of 2026, with more anticipated as freight volumes grow. Hiring beyond the opening will therefore depend on how quickly business at the new location builds.
“Growing our network is about being where our customers need us and creating stronger connections between the markets they serve,” said Frank Granieri, the company’s chief commercial officer, in the announcement. He added that Cincinnati gives the company an important presence in Southwest Ohio, which the West Chester Township facility is positioned to serve.
The location sits in a part of Ohio known generally for manufacturing and distribution activity along the Interstate 75 corridor, between Cincinnati and Dayton, where warehouses, factories, and freight operations cluster near major highways. That puts the company close to businesses that ship and receive freight regularly.
For local businesses, the opening provides another direct option for moving LTL freight into and out of Southwest Ohio, backed by a network reaching the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic. The center is now open, and its growth will be measured by the freight it handles and the jobs it adds, starting from 21 at opening toward approximately 36 by the end of 2026.
