With so much freight coming in and out of your warehouse every day, keeping track of every item can become a serious challenge. Loading and unloading has to be done quickly to keep your production and distribution on schedule, but if you neglect freight sorting, the process can come screeching to a halt.
Luckily, you’re not alone. Freight sorting doesn’t have to be an insurmountable challenge—at least not with the help of your friendly lumper crew.
What Is a Lumper Crew?
A “lumper crew” is an independent loading and unloading team that is available for hire anytime you need a little extra help with your freight. Since the lumper crew doesn’t work for you in the same way your employees do, you won’t be paying for them to stand around when there’s no freight to be loaded or unloaded—lumper crews are there when you need them, and not when you don’t. This makes them a great choice for getting freight moved quickly without costing you more in staff salaries.
Many loading and unloading crews, including our team at Triad Loading Services, Inc., offer more than just help with moving your freight. If you want freight sorting to be done at the same time, all you have to do is ask.
