POOL DISTRIBUTION
Avoid the high cost of long-haul LTL shipments with Weber’s pool distribution services. Ship full truckloads from the East and Weber will receive and sort products at our California and Pacific Northwest pool points, and handle final delivery to West Region grocers and retailers.
Weber's Pool Distribution Solution is:
Weber's pool distribution services bypass the traditional LTL terminal network by shipping your products directly to the destination region. This direct-to-region approach can reduce distribution time by up to 4 days, providing a faster, more efficient solution for getting your products to market quickly.
Weber utilizes 4 West Coast pool points in Southern California (Rancho Cucamonga, CA), Northern California (Stockton, CA) and the Pacific Northwest (Kent, WA and Vancouver, WA) to create more efficient final-mile deliveries.
Weber is the only time-defined, asset-based, temperature-controlled LTL carrier in the Western Region. This unique capability allows us to handle even the most sensitive products with precision, ensuring timely deliveries while maintaining strict temperature controls throughout transit.
Weber works closely with retailers and grocers to coordinate delivery schedules and meet Required Arrival Dates (RADs). By receiving products from your suppliers, we build daily loads for stores and ensure timely delivery to meet retailer requirements, helping you avoid penalties and improve on-shelf availability.
For multiple candy manufacturers, Weber receives truckload shipments of products from Midwest and East Coast plants to one of Weber's West Coast warehouses. From there, we sort products by order and make final deliveries.
