As one of the nation’s leading lumper service companies, Express Freight Handlers asks every prospective client, “What are the biggest challenges that your supply chain faces?” More often than not, operations managers, warehouse overseers, and transportation carriers cite the need to keep productivity high, while keeping overhead costs in check. Essentially, the transport and logistics industry is key to supporting our nation’s economy, whether the goods conveyed from point A to their destination are agricultural or manufactured. Even before the recent pandemic, however, the logistics industry had been facing sweeping changes due to technological innovation, changing consumer expectations (such as 1-day, 2-day, even same day deliveries) and increasingly more stringent federal, state, and local regulations. Not surprisingly, the major challenges our prospects cite that they face are easily remediated by lumper service companies, such as Express Freight Handlers.
Here are some of the issues our prospective clients bring to Express Freight Handlers:
Problem: Labor Shortages
Solution: Express Freight Handlers’ Freight Loading and Unloading Services
We live in a time when for many links along every supply chain, a consistent, quality, reliable and dependable workforce is hard to find and even harder to maintain. The reasons for this are many, however the outcome is that many operations overseers resort to hiring unskilled day laborers. This has great potential for a bad outcome as an unskilled worker does not know how to load or unload a truck, trailer, or container quickly using the right tools for the job. The result is longer load and/or unload times, as well as a greater potential for damaged cargo, as well as causing themselves injury. By contrast, Express Freight Handlers’ teams are OSHA-trained and certified to reduce or eliminate the possibility of injury to themselves or others. Our professionals know how to use all the equipment associated with our trade, as well as when to select the right tool to perform a job expeditiously and efficiently. The result is on-time, safe loading and unloading of freight and cargo while assisting operations overseers to rein in overhead costs.
