Aurora Dedicated Lane Service
Denver metro's eastern logistics corridor connecting DIA cargo to Front Range distribution
Aurora is Colorado's third-largest city, stretching east of Denver and wrapping around Denver International Airport (DIA). The city's position adjacent to DIA makes it the center of air cargo-to-truck transfer operations for the Front Range. The Anschutz Medical Campus, one of the nation's largest, generates healthcare and pharmaceutical freight. Aurora's eastern expansion along I-70 and E-470 has attracted major distribution center development.
