All-in-One Logistics Services and Solutions by Ranger3PL

Businesses poised to achieve new levels of success often find one of the barriers standing in their way is their supply chain. Ranger3PL has expanded the range of third-party logistics services we offer over the years. Why? Because we’ve witnessed first-hand how an optimal supply chain can become the competitive advantage a business needs to gain market share relative to competitors. Transportation services might seem like a minor link in your supply chain, but a chain is only as strong as its weakest link. Our third-party logistics transportation services ensure the chain is strong.

Transportation to Six Cities from Our Unique Location

Situated in Seymour, Indiana (south of Indianapolis) makes Ranger3PL your gateway to a number of critical population centers in the midwestern US, including the following cities with drive-times noted:

Indianapolis, Indiana: 1 hour
Louisville, Kentucky: 1 hour
Cincinnati, Ohio: 2 hours
Springfield, Illinois: 4 hours
Chicago, Illinois: 4 hours

Ranger3PL’s Transportation Services

The third-party logistics transportation services we offer at Ranger3PL include the following:

Asset-Based Local Cartage: If you prefer transporting your products with a carrier who owns their fleet and employs their drivers, then you’ll be pleased to know that Ranger3PL’s transportation service is asset-based local cartage. While being an asset-based carrier doesn’t carry the same weight or significance as it used to, many companies still think that way. Regardless of how your products are transported, you’ll rest assured knowing everything is fully insured to protect your company from potential losses.
Expedited Services: When you need to get your products to their destination as quickly as possible, Ranger3PL is ready to coordinate expedited transportation services. We’ll look at all the options available and choose the most cost-effective method to get your products where they need to be on-time, whether we are the carrier or if another provider is needed to get the job done.
Less-than-Truckload (LTL): We take advantage of economies of scale when moving smaller quantities of goods on a regular basis for multiple companies. Less-than-truckload (LTL) or less-than-load means we coordinate and consolidate shipping among multiple businesses whenever possible in order to save you money, maximizing the efficient use of our fleet for both distribution and fulfillment. After all, why pay for a whole truck if your load doesn’t fill it up? Our assembly service takes care of that for you, and everyone saves on shipping costs.
Freight Forwarding: If you need assistance in coordinating transportation of products by other methods, whether domestically or internationally, Ranger3PL can act as a freight forwarder to coordinate cargo shipments by rail, air, or sea as needed.
Cross-Docking: When product shipments need to stay in motion to reduce storage costs, we coordinate cross-docking to get the job done. This best practice for greater efficiency in the supply chains means products unloaded on an incoming truck or railroad car are immediately loaded onto an outbound truck or railroad car with little or no storage in-between.

Third-party logistics transportation services are just one piece of the supply chain puzzle we can solve for you. Read on to get the full picture of how Ranger3PL can optimize your supply chain.
