Top Ten Benefits
of FHI Unloading Services

1. Increase Productivity

   Realize immediate gains in receiving productivity. FHI’s unloading processes create efficiencies that result in more productive receiving docks. Many FHI customers experience immediate productivity gains of 25 percent or more.

2. Lower Costs

   Start reducing direct labor costs and delivery expenses today. FHI’s production-based pay enables distribution centers to stretch labor budgets further than ever before. Meanwhile, vendors can contain delivery costs by working with FHI to improve load configuration and handling characteristics.

3. Reduce Unloading Times

   By unloading trucks more efficiently than the competition, FHI can boost receiving productivity and give you a competitive edge. Drivers can spend more time on the road and less time at the docks.

4. Competitive Pricing

   FHI’s competitive rates enhance the unloading value. Our published, activity-based rates allow you to better determine delivery costs and eliminate excessive unloading allowances or mark-ups.

5. Peace of Mind

   You can relax knowing that safety is a top priority with FHI. If an accident does occur, all FHI employees are fully covered by worker’s compensation and general liability insurance. In addition, we accept full responsibility for any damage we cause.

6. Added Reliability & Professionalism

   Our experienced team is professional in every regard. Each FHI employee adheres to a strict code of conduct and treats customers with great respect.

7. Establish Better Audit Trails

   Eliminate cash transactions and simplify your financial recordkeeping with direct invoicing. You receive weekly invoices which provide a clear audit trail.

8. Improve Driver Retention

   FHI services allow carriers to focus on delivering freight, not unloading it. Drivers can spend more time on the road and less time at the docks, helping carriers boost productivity and retain quality drivers.

9. Adopt Best Practices
