Its two-day service extends into key markets in the West and Midwest including Chicago, Dallas, Detroit, Fort Worth, Las Vegas, Minneapolis and Oklahoma City, and into Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska and Wisconsin. Freight destined for points in California, Oregon and Washington State, as well as to select markets in the South and along the Atlantic Coast, now falls under a three-day umbrella.
