Why You Should Leave On-Demand Truck Unloading Services to the Pros

We respect the decisions you have made in the past. Everyone in the logistics industry is looking to save a few bucks wherever you can. That has sometimes meant looking towards existing staffers to see who can be pivoted on occasion to unload a truck trailer at the warehouse loading dock. Or, instead of contacting a lumper company, you went with unskilled, per diem laborers, who had never worked in your industry before. If you went down either of these lanes, you quickly realized that there is a downside to each. Maybe, if you were lucky, you got off without anyone injuring themselves or others. If not, you doubtless were presented with a sizable liability claim and/or had to contend with Workers Comp proceedings. When redirecting your staff, there is also a productivity issue as their daily assigned tasks are neglected. As in every industry, productivity is a buzz word for profitability. No one wants to sacrifice that! Happily, going forward, it does not have to be that way. Just contact Labor Loop, for professional, on-demand truck unloading services, when you need us, and only when you need us. There are other benefits to this partnership, and in this posting we’ll share some of them.

At Labor Loop, we know that the phrase, “Time is of the essence.” is very applicable to truck unloading services. This critical stage of every supply chain can literally make or break your timeline and schedule. It is a fact that every supply chain is only as strong as its weakest link. Where the process can start to ‘go wrong’ is when transportation carriers expect their drivers, even after completing a long haul to the warehouse dock, to then perform the strenuous task of performing truck unloading services as well. Again, not only are even the most competent drivers ill-equipped to handle these jobs, but also, at best the task will take far longer than if handled by professionals. At worst, be aware that driver fatigue on the return trip is cited as the leading cause of traffic accidents.

Your solution is an easy one: partner with Labor Loop’s professionals to unload your truck trailers. There are many benefits. Our experienced teams are ready to be deployed on-demand. When your driver backs the rig up to the warehouse loading dock, we will be there, ready and waiting for the seal to be removed and our access to be granted. Our skilled staffers will follow procedures, observe best practices, and be fully compliant with all regulations. Best of all, we work swiftly, efficiently, and safely. We will document any damaged freight as well as, at your request, create and deliver a customized task report. Again at your request, our team will perform additional warehouse tasks such as sorting and storing the goods we have unloaded. It’s entirely your call.

But first, allow us one more suggestion. Make the call to arrange a confidential consultation with our team. Bring us your questions and concerns for prompt, accurate and honest answers. Working together, we can make your logistics nightmares regarding your truck unloading services, ancient history. Call today!
