We understand the ever changing world of airline schedules, restrictions and the potential delays that can be caused by the seasonal nature of the air freight industry. Horizon will help you avoid unnecessary (and often avoidable) delays and costs by thinking ahead. We will give you the best options available. We work with the airlines to ensure that your freight is handled by right the carrier for your time frame and requirements, not theirs.

If you have the time to send your shipment overseas, we can work with you to find an economical option via the ocean. With strong relationships with the world´s ocean carriers along with contacts in every port, we have global leverage with local know how. There are container sizes with a variety of specifications to choose from so we’ll take the hassle out of it for you by finding the right one for your needs without incurring unnecessary costs.

Sometimes your shipment isn’t needed there right away and you have the time to get it there economically. That doesn’t mean you put in on the first truck available or use a carrier who transfers your shipment multiple times when crossing the continent. Our network of trucking partners understand our industry, their trucks are air ride and come with e-track to safely transport your delicate shipment. For your LTL (less than truck load) shipment, we’ll find you a carrier who will make the fewest stops or transfers possible. Whether you need a full trailer (or 12) or you just have one skid, Horizon will find the right carrier to meet your needs.

Horizon has unlimited storage capabilities at our Chicago O’Hare headquarters as well as agreements with our agents in other locations to handle both your long term and short term storage needs. Our clients have found using our facility for storage helps them in the management of their equipment. By having people on site who understand your gear, we are able to pull what you need and send it to where it is needed without you having to be there while knowing it’s in a safe and secure location.
