Transportation
APB Transportation, Inc. has been providing same and next day LTL service seven days per week since 1992.
In addition, APB specializes in providing a truck and a man for the day for the exclusive use of shippers, as well as common
carriage of volume LTL. We aim to achieve the highest efficiency using the straight truck to ship less-than-truckload freight
("LTL") direct. The tag line on our trucks, "Straight to the Point" defines what we do with a triple meaning: unlike most LTL
companies, we ship direct, not via a hub and spoke system; we run straight trucks; and we deal straight.
We especially aim to serve shippers with valuable, time sensitive freight. This is usually the case with scheduled shipments
between manufacturers, printers and mailers, and for construction crews. Therefore, we have equipped our trucks with lift gates,
logistic track and straps, and air ride suspensions. We also offer blanket service, labor, and warehousing.
Our success demonstrates that direct shipping on straight trucks is an effective way to move LTL in a 200 mile radius. The
advantages of direct shipping in this radius more than outweigh the concentration advantage of hub and spoke shipping. Direct
shipping eliminates (1) the cost of and potential damage from moving goods in warehouses between trucks, (2) freight getting on
the wrong truck, and (3) separation of pieces of the same shipment.

Warehousing
APB's warehouse facilities allow us to meet a wide variety of distribution and logistics challenges. We serve as a distribution center for shipments carried on our trucks or by others. We provide secure, short-term or long-term warehousing as well as pick-n-pack services allowing customers to maintain a portion of their inventory at our facility.
At the same location our sister company, APB Archives, offers records management and computerized inventory tracking onsite, along with document destruction services. The facility is fully sprinklered, alarmed, and within two miles of police and fire response centers.
