OK I put the trucks up here Friday, so today it's time to talk business again. Have you ever heard the term "Drop Ship". If you ever purchase anything on the Internet they drop ship it direct to your front door. That's all UPS does, drop ship. So now you understand the concept right?
We'll it seems to work for a lot of other lumber yards so maybe it can work for us! I have appointed myself the title of "lumber relocation specialist" aka "drop ship coordinator" call it what you want but I am going to sell something through this damn computer! One way or another! We get phone calls more and more about shipping things like this so why not? We like to eat too!
It takes a little more effort, you have to line up a freight company to receive the product and line up the delivery to the job, but if you can make it happen that's what it's all about. I used to dispatch for my neighbors trucking company and we had 30 trucks I had to keep moving everyday. So I learned a thing or two about the process, hence the reason I am taking control of this.
Bottom line! If you are reading this blog or use our website look for the new "drop ship" quote box (coming very soon). Give me a chance to look into what you are working on. So far I have been competitive on what I have quoted.
