Allen Lund Company provides exceptional service throughout our North American offices to meet the needs of shippers and growers.
TRUCKLOAD
Refrigerated
Allen Lund Company’s foundation is in refrigerated freight, with a special focus on produce. We are experts at understanding time, temperature, and equipment when moving produce throughout North America, and have an extensive carrier base to service your needs from loading to delivery. We pride ourselves on staying on top of every nuance in tracking freight, especially temperature-sensitive loads. Our ALC Carrier App has been developed to remain a leader in the transportation of refrigerated cargo. Our Four-X rating in the Blue Book is a testament to our commitment and integrity in this market, as well as our inclusion in the Platinum Performance Program established by TIA (Transportation Intermediaries Association).
Flatbed
Whether you need standard flatbed trailers or specialized equipment to handle over-dimensional/over-weight loads, the Allen Lund Company Flatbed and Specialized divisions can handle the job at any time.
Dry Van
Every office in our ALC network has a van division that can tailor a program to handle the needs of any customer at any time of day. We arrange over 640,000 shipments annually, with the majority of the product moved by dry van. As the world evolves, so does the transportation industry, and so do we. ALC provides our customers with 24/7 support, including tracking every load, thanks to our best-in-industry software and ALC Carrier App. We handle full truckload van freight from any part of North America and can provide 48′ and 53′ trailers to satisfy the needs of our shippers.
LTL FREIGHT
LTL Refrigerated
Our refrigerated LTL service offers a flexible and cost-effective solution for temperature-sensitive freight. We make it easy to move smaller loads without compromising quality or reliability. You can count on consistent performance and nationwide reach to keep your cold chain intact.
Refrigerated LTL Shipping: Key Benefits
- Cost Efficiency: Perfect for businesses with smaller, less-than-truckload (LTL) shipments or those supplementing full truckload deliveries. You only pay for the space you use, reducing shipping costs.
- Expanded Geographic Reach: Ship to a wider range of destinations, including small or remote markets, without the need to fill an entire truck. No more waiting to consolidate shipments.
- Optimized for Small Shipments: Ideal for orders under 10 pallets, providing a reliable and affordable solution.
- Dedicated Support: A specialized refrigerated LTL team with a single point of contact ensures personalized service and efficient management of your shipping needs.
Temperature-Controlled Zones
- Frozen (-10°F to 0°F): Perfect for products like frozen meats, seafood, and other frozen goods.
- Refrigerated (32°F to 38°F): Best for temperature-sensitive items like dairy and beverages.
Nationwide Distribution and Custom Solutions
- Comprehensive Coverage: Dock-to-dock distribution available across all 48 lower states.
- Tailored Pricing: Customer-specific pricing (CSP) is available, ensuring the best rates based on your shipping needs.
LTL Dry Van
Our LTL freight management software gives you greater control over your less-than-truckload freight spend. You manage your preferred LTL carriers while taking advantage of our aggregate, negotiated contract pricing. Our software simplifies the rating and routing process and optimizes your carriers by rates and transit times. Easily compare all your carriers and their rates and transit times for each LTL shipment you build and then quickly tender the load to the carrier you select. Our software includes online BOL functions, pre-pay & add, tracking and tracing and is EDI capable. Reporting is essential to making good business decisions, so we provide custom reports to track savings, freight spend, and carrier performance.
