Distribution Center Services
Millions of cases flow in and out of major distribution centers each week. The pace is frenzied. The hours are long. And the work is hard.
FHI understands that efficiently unloading freight is crucial to running a productive receiving operation. An equally important responsibility: providing these services in a consistent and professional manner which supports a positive work environment.
We offer comprehensive unloading services for all receiving departments—grocery, general merchandise, HBC, dairy, deli, produce, meat and freezer—and have a proven track record for increasing productivity from the very start.
The FHI Road Crew—a collection of our most experienced associates—personally handle the start-up phase of all projects to ensure a smooth and seamless transition. Extensive training and on-site supervision ensures lasting quality.
Additional Services
FHI provides additional services on a full-time or as needed basis. Take advantage of our skilled labor force to supplement your staff during peak times with any of the following needs:
- Freight Hauling: Deliver finished pallets to specific distribution center locations.
- Pallet Sorting: Identify and segregate similar pallets.
- Pallet Modules: Arrange vendor merchandise for store display.
- Selection: Stack merchandise for delivery to specific store locations.
Drop Yard Services
With new federal legislation requiring strict limits on hours-of-service, carriers will place increased demands on distribution centers to reduce the amount of time drivers spend at your facility.
Drop yard services are an excellent way to position your facility as a preferred delivery location. FHI can manage your entire drop yard process to create the most efficient receiving environment.
Consulting Services
Many distribution center operations are not accustomed to handling the increased velocity that a professional unloading partner like FHI can deliver. In these instances, FHI’s senior executives are available to recommend strategies to enhance your receiving operations. We work closely with your team to identify challenges and implement best practices.
