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.
• 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
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.
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.
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.
