Hanson Logistics Expands Truck Fleet
New OTR Units Support Consolidation and Distribution Services

hanson logisticsHanson Logistics has added more muscle to the company’s growing transportation service with the recent addition of 4 2008 Kenworth T-800 linehaul tractors. The new trucks, featuring Aerocab sleepers, give Hanson Logistics the ability to respond quickly to customer requests for regional moves using company equipment.

“Safe, on-time delivery is critical regardless of the carrier,” said Andrew Janson, Hanson Logistics EVP of Business Development. “Our carrier community has more than sufficient capacity to handle our consolidation and distribution requirements. Our fleet expansion, with a longer reach, gives our customers the added security of knowing their refrigerated warehouse provider also has transportation assets in place to handle emergency or unusual load requirements.

Hanson Logistics Transportation Management Services draws upon a community of more than 250 qualified refrigerated, dry and rail carriers to offer customers “asset” and “non-asset” based transportation. In addition to production support and traditional distribution, Hanson operates Velocities™ Multi-Vendor Consolidation for the company’s new Chicago Consolidation Center, which will be supported, in part by the new units. In Velocities™ MVC, food manufacturers benefit from a shared truckload rate and a scheduled delivery; retailers and foodservice consignees reduce dock congestion and stock outs. Complete information on the Chicago Consolidation Center is available at www.hansonlogisticsgroup.com.
