Serving your Market
Supplier to manufacturer, or distribution to business client: these services are customized solutions for tight, consistent control of shipping costs while providing dependable delivery schedules and reporting.
With any vehicle size operating 24/7/365, these services are beneficial to manufacturing supply-sourcing operations. Enabling the manufacturer to manage shipping costs through their own accounts with U.S. Messenger eliminates profit center manipulation through supplier-controlled deliveries.
The Customized Distribution options keep control in the hands of the shipper while reducing the costs associated with owning and managing your own fleet.
Owning and maintaining your own vehicle fleet takes energy and resources away from your organization’s core operation.

U.S. Messenger manages based on your delivery requirements and those of your clients.
These operations are custom-built after a feasibility study assessing your organization’s needs, current operations and future goals. Non-asset-based options, which put a positive lean on the economy of scale charts, are available for organizations that need an off-route time-critical delivery solution.
