About Omnira Freight
Thirty years of moving freight, and still answering the phone at 3am.
From two trucks to 42 countries
Omnira Freight started in 1996 with two trucks and a small warehouse on Chicago’s West Side. We added ocean and air freight in the 2000s and opened our first overseas office in Rotterdam in 2008.
Today 2,100 people in 42 countries move 410,000 shipments a year, but we still work like a small company: named contacts, quick answers and no surprises.
