Expedited

Fast and economical supply chain services for priority cargo. Our strategic carrier network helps businesses put rubber to road when timelines are tight and stakes are high. From streets to skies to seas, Harte Hanks’ freight service experts mobilize quickly to get time-sensitive freight where it needs to be – at the lowest cost.

From the port or railroad to the next destination. Our drayage services bridge the gap between initial destination and final delivery to streamline processes and reduce lead time. Our nationwide carrier network can procure and deliver superior domestic drayage, overcoming congestion and disruptions that cause costly delays.

Cross-docking

Connect the dots between middle- and last-mile shipping with a leaner supply chain model. Harte Hanks’ cross-docking solutions get client cargo from point A to B with immediate handover, minimal handling and zero storage costs. Our experts enable clients to consolidate shipments, shorten product lead times and increase order fill rates.

Brokerage

Achieve the most competitive rates and the smoothest journeys. We leverage our national pool of 9,000+ vetted carriers to deliver consistent cost-efficiencies. By combining freight volume from client LTL loads, we negotiate the lowest rates for shippers – optimizing routes and minimizing deadhead miles in the process.
