Mobile Lumper Service across the Columbus metro
Columbus combines the Rickenbacker inland port with the I-70 and I-71 corridors to the East Coast and the Midwest. Coverage is deepest around Rickenbacker in Groveport and Obetz, and in the newer parks east in Etna and west in West Jefferson.
A mobile lumper service sends trained warehouse labor to the freight instead of moving the freight to a warehouse. Carriers use it when a receiver has no dock crew, a driver cannot unload alone, or a load needs restacking in a truck stop lot. Brokers and shippers use it for pop-up distribution, trade shows, retail resets and overflow receiving. Crews bring pallet jacks, wrap and basic tools; forklifts and liftgates can be arranged.

How it works
Tell us where and what
Address, trailer type, piece or pallet count, floor-loaded or palletized, and whether a forklift is available on site.
We dispatch the crew
Within 15 minutes we confirm a crew size, arrival window and flat or hourly rate. Crews are vetted, insured and used to working receivers and yards.
Work done, counts signed
The crew unloads, loads or restacks, confirms counts with the driver or receiver and sends photos. Billing matches the quote.
Typical turnaround in Columbus
Crew confirmed in 15 minutes. Same-day arrival in most metros, often within 2 to 4 hours. Scheduled jobs can be booked days ahead. Nights and weekends are available.
What drives the cost
- Crew size and estimated hours, driven by piece count and whether freight is floor-loaded
- Equipment needs such as forklift, liftgate or pallet jacks on site
- Travel distance to rural or remote locations
- After-hours, weekend and holiday dispatch
- Repeat or scheduled work, which lowers the per-visit rate
