Grocery Direct Consolidated Transportation

Transportation/Trucking/Railroad

Grocery Direct was spun off from Shippers Warehouse, Inc. in 2010, as a separate company because of its tremendous growth and success over the years as a manager of transportation solutions, first as an extension of warehousing services and later as both an asset-based and non-asset based provider. Shippers Warehouse, there'd been a need for a managed, tightly controlled Transportation Savings Program, (TSP), comprised of a core LTL consolidation program, touted today by industry pundits as ‘collaborative distribution,' but always a core competitive advantage for Shippers Warehouse. Grocery Direct is the largest grocery-based freight consolidation program in the Southern United States. Developed decades ago by Shippers Warehouse, Grocery Direct is a non-asset based transportation solution which offers up to 25% savings off the best LTL and truckload rates offered in the market today. Highlights of Grocery Direct include the following: - 400,000,000 pounds shipped annually; - 99.6% on-time to appointment and RAD; - No transloading. Ours are the last hands to touch your freight before your customer does; - Grocery Direct saved its shippers more than $2,000,000 in 2010; - Many of our smaller customers pay for their warehousing services from their freight savings.
