Equipment acquisition can be a daunting task. When arranging for the transport of the equipment, the benefits of using an experienced and savvy vendor are obvious.
Dan Nester, president and chief executive officer, co-founded Polaris Logistics Group in 2013 after working 13 years at a large Third-Party Logistics company. “Our philosophy has always been focused on providing exceptional value to our customers. We offer technology when you want it and people when you need them. That means that not only does Polaris seek out the most cost effective supply chain solutions with its technology, but most of our employees are industry veterans that are creative in using technology to solve any logistics issue that comes up. With locations in Ohio, Utah, California, Texas and Louisiana, we’re well positioned to serve our customers’ freight needs; from dry van to flatbed to LTL to temperature-controlled freight and intermodal options. Also, we will add more locations over the next few years.” Nester explained.
Polaris currently serves a wide variety of industries from machinery and machine parts to packaging, construction materials, and food products. Nester added that Polaris uses cutting edge technology from several top vendors in the industry, such as McLeod Software, Project 44, Carrier411, Trucker Tools, DAT and ITS, to ensure that your cargo arrives at the required destination on-time and within the parameters assigned.
The firm’s team of experts keep clients informed with consistent communication, seven days a week – so you’re always informed as to the status of the order. Polaris customers are never left wondering about the location of a load. “We are always trying to improve ourselves and add value to the customer experience”, Nester said.
The mission at UTC Overseas “is to anticipate customer needs, then evolve and adapt accordingly. Our client’s vision is our vision and every action we take reflects that standard,” Bryan Fathauer, vice president, Midwest region, noted. Established in 1925, UTC Overseas, is an global freight forwarder and logistics provider. The firm has a long history of professional performance in moving freight by ocean, air, rail or inland transport.
“UTC stays abreast of fast changing regulatory policies in the U.S. and globally. Our worldwide office network allows us to monitor changes and the impact on shipping cargo. For example, Section 301/232 increased duties on certain products from many countries, with emphasis on the Chinese-U.S. trade imbalance. Also, the 10 to 25 percent increase in duties on steel and aluminum will drastically impact the cost of raw materials used to manufacture OEM equipment. This also has a direct impact on manufacturing costs for the equipment maker. Finally, global supply chains are always moving to exploit inexpensive labor and production opportunities, and there are often ensuing trade, customs, and compliance issues to navigate,” stated Fathauer.
He added, “We’re globally committed to delivering customer focused services, enriched with the passion, dedication and knowledge of our logistics professionals. We make it our business to understand your business, and you can trust our team to chart a smart course of action with each and every transaction. We believe this approach places UTC above typical industry standards. You can trust in our excellence to pack, warehouse, route, transport, clear, insure or track your shipments. Rest assured that we will develop a tailored solution to meet your deadlines and expectations, yet executing it all within your economic means. Our pledge to you is to create more than just business together. We want to create a lasting partnership based on success.”
