The 40-year-old freight company headquartered at 6450 Poe Ave. has more than 5,000 employees and nearly 4,300 trailers.
The company describes itself as a “less than truckload” regional carrier that serves the Midwest.
The city is considering selling the land for $41,000 per acre, or more than $1.3 million, according to a proposed real estate contract.
The property is located along the north side of the 3000 block of Old Springfield Road, west of Peters Pike. The land is northwest of the Dayton International Airport.
Anthony Rocco is listed as the vice president of Stream’s Edge Properties. Rocco is the chief operating officer at Dayton Freight Lines Inc. Neither Rocco nor representatives from Dayton Freight responded immediately to requests for comment.
The land belongs to the Dayton International Airport, which the city owns.
The Federal Aviation Administration is reviewing the city’s request to release the property from federal grant assurances and expects a decision within weeks, according to a memo from Dayton Aviation Director Gil Turner to the city manager.
