Six Simultaneous Product/Project Launches - 100% On-Time
We’re exceptionally proud of our team’s recent
accomplishments. While many brokers and shippers have been struggling with
capacity issues since the brutal winter months, Tucker’s been putting up record
volume numbers, fulfilling huge surges in capacity demands. During the months
of April and May, and into June, Tucker simultaneously coordinated six (6!)
major product launches and/or project launches for multiple customers. Our
activity doubled normal and expected volume, for weeks. We didn’t miss a
beat.
One launch supported was the largest of its kind product
launch, with multiple security and early/late delivery tripwires. Our team was
100% on-time in support of this project. Additionally, Tucker’s team moved 100%
of the loads offered us, 100% on-time. Plus, we were 100% with emergencies,
including covering those commitments our competition couldn’t fulfill. The other five project launches consisted of
hundreds more truckloads, with a variety of security, communication,
collaboration needs, many of which required carefully coordinated sequential
delivery.
We’re grateful to our customers for the opportunities, and
for working hard to co-design systems to navigate the difficult trucking
environment, making the “capacity crunch” a non-event. We’re grateful to our carriers, for providing
everything we needed, and for committing the right resources. As we’ve seen, leveraging
those strong relationships, with strategic, careful planning can create capacity under any and all
market conditions.
Who needs capacity? We’ve got it. Let’s talk.
