supply chain management

In the complex web of global commerce, there’s one industry that stands as the lifeblood of it all – trucking. It’s a critical component in supply chain management and at Service One Transportation, we understand its importance more than anyone else.

As a family-owned trucking company in Wisconsin, Service One Transportation has been at the forefront of providing comprehensive truckload services, from dry van truckload to dedicated truckload, refrigerated truckload, and blanket wrap leasing services. But our role goes beyond merely transporting goods from point A to point B. We are part of a larger, interconnected system known as supply chain management.

Supply chain management is a broad term that encompasses all the activities involved in the production, shipment, and distribution of goods. Each link in this chain, from manufacturers to retailers, depends on the efficient and timely transportation of products. That’s where trucking comes in.

The Backbone of the Supply Chain

Trucking is often referred to as the backbone of the supply chain. This is not an exaggeration. According to the American Trucking Association, trucks move approximately 72.6% of the nation’s freight by weight. Without trucking, the movement of goods would grind to a halt, causing significant disruptions across industries.

At Service One Transportation, we take our role seriously. Whether it’s dry van truckload, dedicated, refrigerated, or blanket wrap services, our professional drivers ensure that your goods reach their destination safely and on time. Our team is not just composed of employees; they are part of the Service One family, recognized by name and respected for their responsibilities.

Beyond Transportation: Value-Added Services

But trucking’s role in supply chain management isn’t limited to transportation. At Service One, we offer value-added services like expedited services, bulk/transloading, warehouse/material management, and maintenance services. These services enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and ensure the smooth operation of the supply chain.

Our expedited services provide rapid, reliable transportation for time-sensitive shipments. With our bulk/transloading services, we can handle large volumes of goods, transferring them from one mode of transport to another seamlessly. Our warehousing and material management services offer secure storage solutions, while our maintenance services ensure that our fleet is always in top condition, ready to serve your needs.

Honoring Service Members & Firefighters

At Service One, we’re not just about business. We’re also about giving back to our community and honoring those who serve. That’s why we proudly participate in events such as the Helicopter, Military, and Memorial Vehicle Expo in Neillsville, Wisconsin. It’s our way of paying tribute to our veterans and service members, acknowledging their sacrifices, and expressing our gratitude.

In Conclusion

Trucking plays a critical role in supply chain management, ensuring the efficient and timely movement of goods. At Service One Transportation, we are proud to be part of this vital industry. As a family-owned company, we value our staff, honor our service members, and strive to provide the best services to our customers.
