Over the past three or four years, we have seen the transportation industry go through some major changes. Today, there are fewer OTR (over the road) transportation companies operating than there were just three years ago. OTR truck-availability lanes have been significantly reduced across the nation. This coupled with the limited numbers of specialized trucks (such as pneumatic trucks) and certified hazardous materials drivers have contributed to transportation becoming a much more significant part of a product’s total cost.
We at ASP are working to better understand today’s transportation challenges, and we have made large advancement to how we streamline shipped ingredients into our facility and how customer orders are ultimately delivered. We have done so by aligningourselves with key OTR transportation companies and LTL (less-than-truckload) companies to ensure timely, reliable deliveries to customers as efficiently and economically as possible. Our success is most evident in how well we have reduced the total amount of time required to move a customer’s order from receipt to fulfillment to delivery.
It is ASP’s commitment to constantly evaluate transportation costs, explore new shipping opportunities, and to provide superior service as we deliver our quality products fast and economically to our customers. We value your trust and thank you for letting Animal Science Products supply your ingredients needs.
