1. FTL – Full
Picture your store is planning to open a new location in two weeks. Your company would need to transport a lot of products in a timely fashion, in order to ensure that the store is fully stocked with said products before the grand opening. In this scenario we would recommend a Full Truck Load service or (FTL) for short. With a FTL you would be purchasing a dedicated truck with a 53’ dry van in which we would only store your freight. Since the entire truck is dedicated to your freight, the journey is usually direct with no stops which results in quicker delivery times.
2. LTL – Partial
Imagine you’re trying to move some product from your store or warehouse to another location. If you rented an entire moving truck but only filled half of it with your freight, the remaining half would be empty space. In the transportation industry, this situation is similar to what’s known as a “full truckload” shipment, or FTL for short, where a customer reserves the entire space of a truck but might not use all of it.3. Drop Trailer
Imagine you’re hosting a big event at a venue. Before the event, you have a lot of equipment and materials to set up. Instead of rushing to unload everything from a truck while the driver waits (and potentially rushes you), wouldn’t it be more convenient if the trucking company just left the trailer at your venue for a few days? This way, you could unload at your own pace, set up for the event, and then load everything back when it’s over. The trucking company could then come back after a few days to pick up the now-loaded trailer. That’s essentially the idea behind “drop trailer” services in the transportation industry.
4. Dry Van
Imagine you’re trying to move some product from your store or warehouse to another location. If you rented an entire moving truck but only filled half of it with your freight, the remaining half would be empty space. In the transportation industry, this situation is similar to what’s known as a “full truckload” shipment, or FTL for short, where a customer reserves the entire space of a truck but might not use all of it.
5. Warehousing
Warehousing plays a vital role in the overall supply chain process. Today’s warehousing model continues to evolve to stay ahead of the ever-increasingly fast-paced supply chain environment. Cargo owners are looking to gain more than just storage; they need flexibility, cost savings, value-added services, improved inventory control, and most importantly- processes which can improve efficiency and streamline your entire supply chain.
6. Intermodal Rail
There’s routing to consider, loading and unloading, and making sure everything arrives on time. It’s a lot to juggle-and that’s before you even think about the cost. That’s where we come in. EM Transfer Services, we take the headache out of intermodal shipping, so you can focus on what matters: your core business. We have access to thousands of rail and carrier owned containers, which allows us to provide competitive door-to-door service. And if you need help with the domestic end of your import or export moves, we’ve got you covered there as well.
