Services
Our philosophy at Blackrock Logistics, Inc. is old school – the client comes first. Perhaps it is simplified, but it has served us well and everyone at Blackrock does what it takes to deliver on that promise.
Our technology is anything but old school, however. Our state of the art systems and infrastructure provides our clients with personalized options to outsource any or all of their logistics to our dedicated team. We can provide everything from a single expedited delivery to complete fleet management, all with real-time order tracking, optimization and in-transit inventory visibility. At Blackrock Logistics, Inc., we are devoted to equipping you with the most reliable and innovative logistics services on the market.
The core Blackrock Logistics, Inc. team has served the industry in all capacities, which has provided us with a unique insight into our customers’ needs and challenges. By working one-on-one with senior managers, warehouse workers, and employees at every level of the industry, our team has gained a superior understanding of the service expectations for every point in the shipping process. This allows us to understand and support our clients with a level of personalized service that no one else can offer.
We Are Driven By Technology
Blackrock Logistics, Inc. owns its own fleet of over 30 trucks and 55 trailers and also contracts with the top independent operators in the industry. We currently utilize XRS Corporation’s Turnpike Fleet Management & CSA Compliance Solution to collect truck and driver data. This industry leading software is tablet based, allowing for mobility between drivers and/or vehicles and collects and provides detailed tracking and reporting data. This ensures we track your shipment for you in real time from start to finish.
Our combined dedication, leadership, and professionalism makes Blackrock Logistics, Inc. your choice for all your logistics needs.
