Experts agree: driver shortages, rising fuel costs and capacity constraints are making transportation procurement a discipline best suited to companies equipped with the proper technology, commitment and volume to attract and retain top-notch carriers.
Hanson Transportation Management Services are designed to provide you with the efficiencies required to excel in a sophisticated, on-demand supply chain. In addition to managing your day-to-day transportation, we keep you informed of load status through web-based and phone communications. While we strive for 100% on time delivery, we will notify of any unexpected delays so you can plan accordingly. Your production, customer service and supply chain personnel can access shipment information whenever it’s required. Our EDI and web capabilities further automate tendering, shipment status, invoicing and payment.

Load Aggregation/Planning
Multiple orders of various SKU’s, different deliveries windows, multiple stops — Hanson has the capacity planning technology to aggregate your loads or to merge with other like shipments to meet strict customer delivery criteria – while improving cycle times and service.
Carrier Optimization
Hanson’s comprehensive carrier qualification will ensure that the right carrier at the right time is utilized to meet delivery performance criteria while providing cost-effective transportation.
Continuous Moves/Merge In Transit
We’ll help you take advantage of the ongoing economies available in a dynamic transportation process, merging loads from various origins and combining pick-ups with deliveries for optimal carrier utilization.
Vendor Inbound Management
Hanson transportation management services can also identify economics on the inbound side of the equation, through collaboration, back hauls, and more efficient procurement of inbound material. Hanson has many carriers available across the country available for inbound moves.
Supply Chain Optimization
Our modeling systems, network and logistics expertise can help identify, implement and manage incremental or dramatic changes in your supply chain, helping you achieve greater profitability and lower operational costs.
Hanson Transportation Management benefits include:
Greater Carrier Access
We have an established qualified carrier network that complements our growing fleet, and provides adequate coverage in customer lanes and key destinations. That means flexibility and responsiveness for Hanson clients, with competitive rates and high quality service.
Balanced Assets
In addition to our managed carrier group, we operate our own truck fleet of multi-temperature units, and also offer extensive warehouse capabilities.
Purchasing Power And Collaboration
Because we procure significant volumes of transportation, we are often able to negotiate competitive rates from the best carriers. We buy capacity in the marketplace as it meets your specific needs: the best service and competitive cost. You don’t have to ship high volumes to benefit from Hanson transportation management. We move multiple loads or single loads from multiple customers, often to the same consignee, achieving critical mass for lower transportation costs.
Security & Peace Of Mind
In addition to direct carrier insurance which is verified and monitored, Hanson also provides contingency coverage for auto-liability and cargo coverage. In the event of an auto or cargo claim, Hanson is quick to provide the administration of the claims process and avoid additional exposure and administrative work.
Total Transportation Spend
Our goal is to purchase the most cost-effective capacity for your requirements, and also optimize your process and systems to help lower your overall transportation spend. We believe strategic planning, optimization, proper execution, settlement, and lower administration creates opportunity for lower inventory and more efficient order planning.
Reduced Overhead
By outsourcing a portion or all of your supply chain management, Hanson provides a unique opportunity to lower operating overhead and take advantage of the entire transportation management skills employed by the Hanson team.
Management Team
You’ll benefit from a seasoned team, with extensive transportation and 3PL experience, plus the financial strength of the Hanson Group.
