Transforming South Florida Tissue Paper’s Logistics Efficiency with Go To Truckers

Client Overview:

South Florida Tissue Paper, a leading tissue paper manufacturer based in Miami Gardens, FL, distributes its products nationwide. Known for its high-quality products, the company faced challenges in logistics efficiency that impacted its operations and customer satisfaction.

The Challenge:

South Florida Tissue Paper primarily relied on LTL (Less-than-Truckload) services, believing it was the most cost-effective option. However, this approach resulted in significant operational inefficiencies:

1. Frequent Delays: LTL shipments often lacked precise delivery schedules, leading to unpredictable drop-off times.
2. High Costs: Sending multiple LTL shipments close to each other incurred unnecessary expenses.
3. Warehouse Constraints: Delays caused inventory bottlenecks, limited warehouse space, and interruptions in machinery operations.

The Solution:

After analyzing their shipping patterns, Go To Truckers identified a better approach: transitioning to multistop FTL (Full Truckload) shipments.

1. Customized Multistop Routes: By leveraging Go To Truckers’ extensive network of qualified carriers in Florida, a strategic plan was created to consolidate shipments into multistop FTL loads. Each route included 3–4 drops, ensuring timely pickups and deliveries.
2. Improved Delivery Times: Coordinated scheduling reduced delivery timelines from 4–7 days with LTL to just 1–2 days.
3. Proactive Support: Go To Truckers ensured seamless operations by providing immediate documentation, even for nighttime deliveries, enhancing reliability and transparency.

The Results:

• Reduced Delivery Time: Faster and more predictable delivery schedules strengthened customer trust and loyalty.
• Cost Savings: Consolidating LTL shipments into multistop FTL loads minimized unnecessary expenses.
• Operational Efficiency: Optimized warehouse space allowed machinery to operate continuously without interruptions, boosting production.
• Increased Sales: Improved logistics and customer satisfaction contributed to a 10% increase in sales.
