Logistics Solutions Case Studies

Kansas City to Milwaukee Logistics Broker

Freight Broker for Shipping from Kansas City to Milwaukee

A tool and die company located in Kansas City requested the assistance of Direct Drive Express for a shipment of high-dollar machine parts to their customer located in Milwaukee. The customer wanted a dedicated 40 ft truck to ensure the machine parts were not handled multiple times, resulting in possible damage. Direct Drive Logistics worked with their preferred dedicated carrier to provide the service requested and also obtained further insurance to cover the high dollar amount of the machine parts in case damage did occur.
