What To Look For
In A 3rd Party Logistics Provider
Is it important to choose a 3rd Party Logistics provider that
owns both the real estate and the rolling stock?
For coordination of shipments, adherence to critical time frames, accurate
feedback, and personalized service, you definitely should seek a logistics
provider with both the warehousing facility and the trucks. With Commercial
Cartage, one call gives you access to our company owned 65,000 sq.ft.
facility and our radio controlled fleet.
How important is the tenure of a logistics company?
In the logistics business, experience is critical. Commercial Cartage
has been in business continuously since 1961. Knowledgeable staff solve
complex problems, coordinate with shipping lines, brokers, and receiving
facilities, and design customized solutions for your storage and transportation
needs.
In today’s highly competitive business atmosphere, superior service
and exceptional responsiveness drive sales. You close the sale. Commercial
Cartage will help you keep it!
How can one evaluate whether shipments will be protected in
transit?
Ask for detailed inspections, documentation review, receiving reports
and emailed photos to provide real-time feedback on condition of goods.
At Commercial Cartage, we provide these services as a standard and irregularities
are reported immediately while staff members work with your representatives
to address the problem. Choose a logistics partner that will always keep
you informed.
What security should I expect to protect my products in a public
warehouse?
Don’t settle for less than maximum security for your important products
while they are stored in a third party warehouse. Commercial Cartage provides
comprehensive Financial Protection and Maximum
Security procedures for its customers.
What about emergencies? How fast should I expect a 3rd party
logistics partner to deliver?
Not every logistics provider can address your emergencies or those of
your customers. “DEDICATED TRUCK”, “RUSH”, “AFTER
HOURS”, “WEEKEND DELIVERY” and "WEEKEND WAREHOUSE
OPENING” are always available to customers of Commercial Cartage
for emergencies. Same day UPS and FedEx packaging and pick up are standard,
and a Commercial Cartage staff member is always on call.
What if my customer needs a sample?
Samples are packaged and shipped according to your instructions via UPS
or FedEx. Your Houston area representative may inspect or sample your
product and invite your customer to CCC’s warehouse.
How do I evaluate dependability when selecting a logistics provider?
Look for a logistics partner with experienced staff, a long-term accident
free record, safety and hazmat trained employees and highest ratings with
the US Department of Transportation. Members of Commercial Cartage’s
management team average more that ten years of experience with the company
and a manager is always available to address your concerns.
