I trust Allen as a ‘go-to’ company – they do everything to make operations run smoothly and keep the flow going, on time.

- Berkeley Contract Packaging

Their ability to be flexible with us was a huge feature for us. We were the first to come in with 16,000 items and make them an extension of our warehouse. They were great with it.

- C2F

Allen is flexible and was willing to work with us as we grew. We developed a great rapport, and they became an extension of our operations. I’m able to deal directly with the leaders, and I know I can get what I need by making a phone call to one of them.

- Cytosport, makers of Muscle Milk

The people at Allen are very responsive to all our needs and requests, even when we give them little lead time. They work hard to make sure our customers are provided with the service that they have become accustomed to.

- King Arthur Flour

POOL DISTRIBUTION

placeholder

Most partners work with Allen to take advantage of our ability to pool their loads with other Allen customers, increasing trailer utilization within a region and driving down their LTL or smaller truckload shipment costs in the process. No change in intended delivery schedules, your shipment arrives on time as you designate.

Grouping less than truckload (LTL) shipments together and making multiple deliveries reduces transit times, reduces the number of times a product is handled and provides a cost-effective distribution solution.

Our pool distribution services:

Reduce transit times
Reduce product handling
Reduce damage claims
Control overall shipping costs

FREIGHT MANAGEMENT

Whether it’s an entire truckload delivering to a big box store or a single package delivered to a customer’s front door, Allen’s experienced group of logistics manager works with partners to design cost-effective custom strategies for storing and distributing products throughout the United States.
