As
Supervisor of Logistics at Lab
Safety Supply in Janesville, WI,
it’s my job to find the most
cost effective, timely service
for our customers. In 2003 I decided
to give Fort Transportation a try
for my deliveries in Wisconsin.
They did such a great job I expanded
the states they delivered to soon
after the trial. Their drivers
are courteous, pick-ups are on
time, deliveries are on time and
I’ve had minimal damages.
The personalized service I get
from Ryan and the dispatch team
is excellent. It’s nice to
know I can pick up the phone when
my volumes fluctuate and get additional
trailers in a very short time.
Giving Fort Transportation a try
was the best decision I could have
made for my regional transportation
needs.

When FORT’S Sales Representative called on Managed Packaging, we knew that the level of service for our transportation needs were about to go up. We worked with the sales representative previously and knew that his industry knowledge and commitment to his customers would definitely help us out. We committed to ship with FORT that day and we have not been disappointed since.
To make a long story short, our costs are down and our delivery reliability is up. We have not filed a single damage claim to date. FORT has done a great job of making pickups and deliveries on our time table. They have also helped us manage our administrative cost by arriving on time for scheduled pickups. Their drivers are always helpful with a tough delivery or shipment and are well liked by all customers and our personnel. Through their extensive network, we are able to arrange transportation to virtually all of our customers with just one call a day.
Their website and customer service people make it possible for our billing department to access pricing and shipment information the day of the shipment quickly and accurately. That has been a real benefit in helping us improve our receivables turnover. Our relationship with FORT has been a benefit to us and our customers since day one. We would have absolutely no problem recommending them to anyone.

Approximately eighty years ago, Fort Transportation and the Gustave A. Larson Company started their respective operations, building on the tenets of providing legendary customer service. In 2008, Fort Transportation and Larson Company began a partnership as I made a decision to switch carriers. In my twenty—five years of experience in distribution and logistics, I don’t recall a more seamless, smooth and enjoyable transition between carrier and shipper. Fort Transportation has proven to us that they value us as a customer and I look forward to continuing our business partnership for many years to come.

Our
finished products are time sensitive,
which requires that we move our product
as fast as possible from point A to point
B. Fort Transportation has meet our needs
for over the past 20 plus years. They
are fast to respond and help in every
way possible to ensure our needs are
met. This ‘CAN DO’ attitude
is portrayed across the board. From their
management to their drivers, top to bottom.
As our shipping / receiving manager,
I can attest to this ‘CAN DO’ attitude.
Often times they will go above and beyond
to meet or exceed my needs whether the
product is inbound or outbound. They
are honest, loyal and friendly to their
customers. It is a pleasure doing business
with them now and in the future.
