Transportation Management Solutions from DCI

Third-Party Logistics (3PL)

We understand that every business has different transportation requirements, which is why DCI creates transportation solutions to meet each company’s unique needs. We partner with reliable carriers to ensure that our clients’ goods are delivered to the right customer locations — on time and in the condition in which they left — anywhere in the world. 

Whether your goods require movement by air, sea, rail or highway, we will arrange it. When highway movement is required, DCI offers Full Truckload (FTL) service for large loads and Less Than Truckload (LTL) service for smaller volumes and lower costs. We track all shipments, so you always know when they left and when they arrived — and where they are at any stage in the process.  

Cross Docking Services

Cross docking eliminates the need to store inventory during a shipment’s journey from origin to final destination. Instead of storing goods when they reach an interim point, the shipment is immediately transferred from the truck or container to an outgoing vehicle at a cross-docking terminal. Shipments may be transferred whole or, if necessary, they can be sorted and consolidated at the outbound dock.

Cross docking optimizes supply chains by:

  • Reducing labor costs
  • Lowering warehousing costs
  • Cutting shipping and receiving times
  • Increasing inventory turnover/replenishment rates
  • Improving the efficiency of goods storage
  • Decreasing material handling

Suppliers that ship perishable goods, pre-ticketed items or products with high or seasonal demand find that cross docking is particularly beneficial.

Why Is DCI the Distributors’ Choice?

Outsourcing your transportation needs to the experts at DCI not only saves you time, but it may also reduce your high transportation costs. Through our established and positive working relationships with carriers, you are assured quality, on-time transportation services. You also benefit from our volume discounts, as we are able to offer service at lower rates than you could obtain if you were to arrange transportation on your own.
