Your support in continuing to enhance our supply chain is appreciated.

Small pack/parcel:

Small pack or parcel shipments that typically ship via UPS or FedEx are not efficient modes of transport and receipt into our Distribution Centers (DCs).  Considerable packaging, multiple shipment tracking numbers and small boxes increase the risk of loss, damage and exhaust resources to receive.  Unless a specific item is being expedited, we ask that every effort is made to not ship to our distribution facilities in small pack mode, rather always ship via a truck load mode.

Less-Than-Truckload (LTL):

Less Than Truckload, or LTL, shipments are those typically less than 10,000 pounds or encompass less than 20 feet of trailer space.  Larger shipments could incur volume fees from LTL carriers and should therefore be shipped via a truckload carrier.  As with Small pack being inefficient, LTL is as well. We request every effort be made to ship truckload.

 

However if LTL is necessary, for domestic LTL we have two primary partnerships with Saia and Estes.

 

Corporately based out of Richmond, Virginia, Estes has been shipping freight since 1931.  Currently operating at 98% service levels both in and outbound, they have direct coverage of nearly every zip code within the US.

Headquartered in Atlanta, Saia has grown and made many great strides in service throughout the US, covering 34 states (there is no New England coverage, from Virginia northward).  Similar to Estes, Saia has near 99% on time service records across the network.

Truckload:

For truckload, we have partnered with UPS Freight Truckload in a dedicated capacity.  There are also backhaul opportunities available in some lanes to make inbound deliveries to our DCs.  If you are interested in taking advantage of a UPS Freight backhaul, please contact your Supply Chain Analyst or the Transportation Team at Route.Planning@Ferguson.com.

As a secondary resource, we also utilize C.H.Robinson out of their Roanoke, Virginia office.  The team in Roanoke handles truckload flats, vans and dray coast to coast for all of our locations in the US and Canada.  The C.H.Robinson team can be reached at (800) 856-2953 or FergusonTeam@CHRobinson.com.  General company information is also available on-line www.CHRobinson.com
