CASE STUDY
KEEPING ALUMINUM MOVING FROM PLANT TO CUSTOMER
How Tenacity Express coordinates multi-stop transportation of aluminum extrusions and coils for Sierra Aluminum.
THE CUSTOMER
Sierra Aluminum manufactures aluminum products that require dependable transportation from their facility to customers across multiple markets.
Tenacity Express supports their transportation needs by coordinating shipments of aluminum extrusions and coils, including multi-stop deliveries that consolidate multiple customer orders onto a single truck.
WHAT WE MOVE
ALUMINUM EXTRUSIONS
Long bundles of finished aluminum extrusions require careful loading. securement, and protection throughout transit.
For multi-stop shipments, the trailer also has to be loaded with the delivery sequence in mind so freight can be accessed efficiently at each destination.
ALUMINUM COILS
Aluminum coils introduce a different transportation requirement. Coil weight, orientation, securement, and trailer capacity all have to be considered when matching the shipment with the appropriate equipment.
ONE TRUCK
MULTIPLE DELIVERIES
ONE COORDINATED PLAN
Multi-stop transportation requires more than finding available capacity. Loading sequence, appointment times, routing. transit time, and communication all have to align.
Tenacity Express coordinates each shipment around the complete delivery route-not simply the first and final destination.
PLAN THE MOVE
Each multi-stop shipment is reviewed to establish the most efficient delivery sequence and account for customer requirements.
MANAGE DELIVERIES
We maintain communication with the carrier as deliveries are completed and monitor progress toward the next destination.
CLOSE THE LOOP
Once the final stop is completed, delivery is confirmed and the shipment is closed out.
