We had a customer who was making a highly sensitive product, that was extremely small, going from Columbus, Indiana, to Dallas, Texas. This customer did not want to use the LTL option of throwing this product on another truck with other products because they did not want to risk that this product would be damaged. It was a highly sensitive product and it was highly important that it make it from Columbus, Indiana, to Dallas, Texas as quickly and efficiently as possible, but yet as safely as possible with little to no risk of damage to the product.
StoneBridge Trucking has a small transit connect. It’s a small vehicle that is specifically dedicated to transporting one skid, or less, items under 1300 lbs, dedicated from the destination to the delivery point. So, because StoneBridge Trucking and Expediting works 24/7, we have a dispatch and we are on-call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We scheduled this load ahead of time to pick up on a Friday afternoon and deliver that weekend to Dallas, Texas in our transit.
So, the customer’s needs were, “Pick up an extremely small load, ensure to us that the load and the product will not be damaged, and deliver it from Columbus, Indiana, to Dallas, Texas as quickly and efficiently as possible without any risk of damaging our product.”
That was what the customer wanted, that’s what our customer’s customers wanted, and in our small transit connect we were able to deliver a very, very small product from Columbus, Indiana, to Dallas, Texas, and we ensured the safety and that it would not be damaged. And, it was not damaged.
Our customer was happy, our customer’s customers were happy, and therefore StoneBridge Trucking and Expediting, we did our job. And, we’re always happy to dedicate our loads, regardless of the size of our load, we can dedicate a load anywhere in the United States and Ontario, Canada.
