Logistics Solutions Case Studies

Milwaukee to New York Freight Broker

Direct Drive Logistics helps major packaging companies with their shipments out of Milwaukee, WI

One of the nation’s largest privately-held manufacturers, sellers, and distributors of packaging materials, was in need of a cost-effective way to transport goods from its lower-cost production facilities in Milwaukee, WI to remote distribution centers in hard-to-service areas such as New York City, NY, Miami, FL, Charlotte, NC and Los Angeles, CA.

Their Solution?

Through freight management, Direct Drive Logistics used its strong carrier relationships to ensure they received consistently premium service on some of the most difficult routes in the country. Our knowledge of the customer’s business, combined with our huge base of carriers, enabled us to cut operating costs, passing the savings on to our customer. Because their shipping volume fluctuates on a daily basis, we customized a transportation strategy specifically to allow for changes with little notice. Since we’ve begun helping the manufacturer, we continue to assist them with: 

  • Overflow storage during peak season
  • Cross docking services to accommodate scheduling needs
  • Coordinating back-up support to the customer's fleet when needed
  • Providing 24/7 consultant care for any help they may need
