Your Logistics Expert
Over the years, the freight industry (that is, the need to ship and receive cargo or freight shipments, both domestically and internationally), has become an antiquated dinosaur. Trucking companies have been notoriously slow to adapt to changes, both in technology and in methods of service. Primary among the ways in which they have not adapted and changed has been in the area of pricing and simply how they move freight from point A to point B.
In recent years, advancement in technology and methods of communication have given growth to the area of logistics management known as Third Party Logistics and Logistics Brokers . Simply put, utilization of a third party, sometimes called a freight broker, to help manage your shipments and to match up your needs with the best possible providor. This service has proven effective at reducing transportation costs and reducing the time commitment needed by warehouse personnel to manage the shipping function.
That’s where we come in!
With over 100 combined years of experience in the freight and shipping arena, we are experts at solving all of your logistics and freight needs. Whether you are shipping LTL, truckload, airfreight, or international. Whether your shipment is across town or across country, we have the resources to solve your logistics needs. With over 5,000 companies in the trucking, airfreight, and logistics industry in our portfolio, we can solve your shipping needs by matching your shipment with the best possible alternative to achieve the results you are looking for.
Truckload shipments can be matched up with any number of common carriers or independent truckers. All carriers are licensed and bonded. Additionally, we require all carriers to have certificates of insurance on file with us to ensure your cargo is protected to it’s full value. We currently have literally thousands of truckload carriers of all sizes that we have categorized into regions of the country in which they specialize or excel. Once loads are tendered to us, we place these loads with one of the carriers that specialize in that region to accomplish the best and most efficient service possible.
Our LTL service is unique in that we utilize independent truckload carriers to haul your LTL. By teaming your “partial truckload” with cargo from other companies needing to ship to the same market, we are able to charge “prorated truckload” rates, which offer significant savings off of LTL common carrier rates. Additionally, your cargo or freight shipment is picked up by the same trailer it will deliver off of, thereby foregoing the standard industry practice of cross docking and handling of your freight. The obvious advantage to this system is no touch to the freight…and therefore no damages!!
Airfreight and international shipments are accomplished through teamwork with our freight forwarding partners to achieve the most cost effective service while maintaining a cost structure that is highly competitive. Whether you are shipping to Mexico or China, South America or Africa, needing expedited airfreight or shipping via boat, we have the resources to get the job done. Additionally, we have the expertise to help you through the customs process that can be so cumbersome and frustrating.
