LTL & warehousing
A. Duie Pyle adds Cincinnati LTL capacity and integrated Pennsylvania warehousing
· Source: A. Duie Pyle
A. Duie Pyle opened a 44-door Cincinnati-area service center and a 78,760-square-foot Camp Hill, Pennsylvania warehouse beside an existing LTL terminal. The additions extend direct Southwest Ohio coverage and connect storage with regional transportation, although the company has not published shipment, utilization or transit-performance data.

The 44-door center extends direct LTL service into Southwest Ohio
Pyle opened the service center at 6549 Allen Road in West Chester Township, serving the Greater Cincinnati market. The company says the location connects Southwest Ohio more directly with its Northeast and Mid-Atlantic network and supports intra-Ohio freight. It expects 21 jobs at opening and about 36 by year-end, but those are company projections rather than verified final staffing.
Camp Hill combines warehouse and terminal operations
The 78,760-square-foot Camp Hill warehouse sits beside Pyle's existing LTL service center, creating a connected campus near I-81, I-76, I-83 and U.S. 15. Pyle says the layout can reduce handoffs between inventory storage and regional transportation. The company has not disclosed pallet positions, occupancy, throughput or customer commitments.
The two openings serve different network functions
Cincinnati adds terminal doors and direct LTL market coverage; Camp Hill adds storage and fulfillment capacity next to an operating terminal. FreightWaves independently reported both projects and said the Ohio center may reduce intermediate transfers. That benefit remains operationally dependent on origin-destination patterns, linehaul schedules and freight density.
What shippers should compare before changing routing
RoadHouse perspective: request exact ZIP-code coverage, pickup cutoffs, published transit standards, interline involvement, claims terms and terminal-handling counts for Cincinnati lanes. For Camp Hill warehousing, compare storage, handling, minimums, inventory accuracy, order cutoffs and transportation integration against standalone warehouse and carrier alternatives.
Understanding the update
Pyle's October 20 Cincinnati release and October 5 Camp Hill announcement provide the primary facility details. FreightWaves independently reported the network strategy. Both sites are described as open, but public shipment counts, utilization, transit results and warehouse-capacity details are limited.
What it means for drivers and carriers
The expansion gives regional shippers another direct LTL and integrated warehousing option, but the business case should be tested with actual ZIP coverage, touch count, transit consistency and total handling cost.
Questions to consider
- Will the Cincinnati lane move entirely inside Pyle's direct network or require an interline partner?
- How many terminal touches and what published transit standard apply to the shipment?
- At Camp Hill, what storage, handling, order-cutoff and inventory-accuracy commitments are contractual?
