Sampling of Client Feedback

“Priority is one of the only providers that could eliminate our damages, move freight from Kansas City to Monterrey in two days, and provide unbeatable pricing. In addition, the company is on the cutting edge of technology and as such has been able to work with us and the Smart Port group of Kansas City to test expedited custom clearance techniques, which have proven to be very successful.

Their knowledge of clearing customs and Mexican border operations is second to none and the service have proven to be invaluable to our organization.” – Rick Raines

We started working with Priority Logistics several years ago, using them for our full truckloads going to Guadalajara, Mexico.

While working with Dave and his team, they have helped us reduce our delivery time to Guadalajara by days. We also use Priority several times in moving some of our digital presses across the U.S. and into Mexico.

Plastic Packaging Technologies has been a very happy and satisfied customer of Priority Logistics for over 10 years. And that is no easy task.

My personal experience with freight management spans three industries including Hallmark Cards, American Italian Pasta Company, and now packaging materials, and involves ocean containers, rail, inter-modal combination, full truck, LTL, air, and even parcel shipments.

I would also offer that my typical management tendency is to approach all consultants with great skepticism because my experience has shown that you rarely get the results they claim while usually paying too much. However, I would suggest that the freight category is a perfect candidate to seek good expert help because 1) it ‘ s a significant expense for many businesses, 2) it ‘ s not a core competency for a manufacturer, and 3) it ‘ s too complex to learn and master without the help of experts.

That said, Priority Logistics combines our volume with several other companies for leverage with the carriers during negotiations each year. These competitive rates are then loaded into the “Quick Rate” software they re com mended to allow us to select the optimal carrier for every shipment, for each load, to every destination, every day. This methodical approach has taken six-figures out of our freight expense while increasing on-time performance!

Dave Burdick and his team are also available as questions arise and provide on-going freight bill reviews to assure accuracy and fairness in the lop-sided game the carriers play.

I whole-heartedly recommend Priority Logistics and would gladly offer to discuss the relationship more if you would like to call me. (We respect our client’s time so please contact us and we will provide you client information).
