TEMPERATURE-CONTROLLED

Whether you’re shipping produce that must be kept from freezing, or frozen food products that must not thaw, Kopf offers state-of-the-art equipment to maintain your product at the temperature you require. We have the capability to source Temperature-Controlled equipment for commodities that are sensitive to extreme heat or cold.

DROP-TRAILER SERVICE

Shippers wanting to keep their supply chains running smoothly are turning to Drop-Trailer service which allows them to plan more effectively for deliveries and outbound shipments. Carriers want to spend less time waiting on a load to be packed and more time driving to their destination. Drop-Trailer service gives both the shipper and carrier control and independence, making the pick-up process more efficient and on-time deliveries more frequent. Drop-Trailer service revolutionizes the way shippers and carriers interact and streamlines the shipping process, ultimately leading to more on-time deliveries.

 

SHIPPER BENEFITS:

• Value Chain is Uninterrupted: Drop-Trailer capability means shippers can load the trailer at their own convenience

• Avoid costly accessorial charges for driver retention

• Pick and Pack Optimization: Product is able to flow through warehouse effectively

• Higher on-time percentages

OWNER OPERATORS

Kopf complements our company fleet with a hand-picked team of Owner Operators. Our combined fleet can expand quickly to our shippers’ seasonal, planned and unanticipated surges in production activity. This business model provides an invaluable service for our shippers. You can have confidence awarding freight to Kopf knowing capacity needs are met.

TRAILER INTERCHANGE

Arranging the transfer of a trailer to a second trucker so the trailer can be delivered to its final destination, or until it can be transferred to another trucker, allows for a safe and on-time delivery. Kopf makes available its trailers to select shippers and contract carriers to perform trailer interchange service.

DROP & HOOK SERVICE

At Kopf, our Drop & Hook service allows shippers the freedom to carry out their responsibilities without missing appointments and without the worry of late deliveries by creating a trailer pool at both shipping and receiving points. A driver going to pick up a loaded trailer will arrive with an empty trailer, pick up the loaded trailer and leave the empty one. This process makes certain there are always readily available trailers to be loaded, making the entire shipping process more convenient and further streamlining the supply chain.

POWER ONLY

Kopf’s Power Only service provides qualified carriers, competitive rates, superior service and experienced team members and is ideal for surges, short haul, long haul, and round-trip opportunities. We offer specialized support, exceptional 24/7 customer service and reliable third-party carriers so you can be confident in your choice to outsource your Power Only shipments to Kopf.

BULK TRANSPORT

Kopf is committed to providing value-added Bulk Transport service to our customers by ensuring safe, efficient and quality transportation with every load while maintaining product integrity and striving for error-free deliveries. We provide dry bulk and liquid bulk transportation services for a variety of products, utilizing Side Dump, End Dump, Pneumatic, Hopper and Food Grade Tanker equipment. With a proven record in meeting our customers’ specialized needs in bulk service, we have the necessary expertise and experience to provide cost-effective and environmentally responsible transport services.

LESS-THAN-TRUCKLOAD (LTL)

Kopf’s LTL shipping service is designed to help you, our customer, gain control of your Less-Than-Truckload shipments by delivering a robust nationwide network of trusted, contracted LTL carriers to ensure your products arrive on time and within budget. We simplify the process by managing your LTL freight shipping needs with confidence while providing complete nationwide coverage across all regions of the United States. As a trusted broker with a solid history of personalized service, you can be confident in your choice to outsource your LTL shipments to Kopf.

OPEN-DECK

Finding the right transportation solution takes expertise built over years of delivering freight of all sizes. Special freight needs demand unique equipment, and we arrange the transportation of Open-Deck shipments that do not fit inside a traditional enclosed trailer. Our team of dispatchers will assist you in finding the Open-Deck equipment you need quickly and easily while delivering your freight safely, securely and on-time.

Truckload

With strong company history and longevity in the markets we serve, Kopf leverages its strength to bring cost savings and efficiency to every shipment. Kopf’s truckload service moves a full truckload of freight directly from the point of origin to destination and is safe and reliable, providing capacity-oriented solutions centered on delivering customer value and superb service levels. If demand for equipment exceeds our capacity, we have the capability through our broker division to transition freight to our network of contract carriers who can perform at the same high standard as our own fleet.
