O'Hare is one of the busiest cargo airports in North America. Items moving through airline cargo channels — whether AOG parts, time-critical pharma, secure documents, or freight forwarder shipments — require a TSA-certified courier at the local-leg level. Without certification, items typically need additional re-screening, which can cost hours. Comet has been TSA-certified for years and treats ORD as a daily route, not an exception.
Drivers complete TSA training and background checks. Required for airline cargo channels.
Automatic $50 coverage; declared-value insurance available at $2.50 per $100.
