Logistics Solutions Case Studies

Wichita to Little Rock Logistics Broker

Freight Broker for Shipping to and from Wichita to Little Rock

A manufacturer of woodworking machines requested the help of Direct Drive Logistics to coordinate expedite shipment of a high-dollar machine from their customer in Wichita back to their warehouse in Little Rock.  Due to time constraints, the manufacturer was required to have the repairs made and back to the customer within a week.  Direct Drive Logistics worked within their preferred expedited carrier database to secure a box truck with team drivers as well as proper insurance coverage to meet the manufacturer’s requirements.
