Managing operational costs while enhancing efficiency is a key objective for many transport carriers and supply chain managers. To achieve peak operational efficiency, outsourcing non-daily tasks, such as freight loading and unloading, is often the best solution. Lumper service companies, like Express Freight Handlers, assist carriers and shippers in reducing costs, speeding up dock operations, and minimizing risk. Our trained, on-demand labor teams offer supervised support for loading and unloading, ensuring that freight moves smoothly throughout your supply chain.
Benefits of Lumper Services for Carriers

- Lower detention fees: Minimizing delays helps carriers avoid costly detention charges.
- Driver safety & retention: “No-touch” freight keeps drivers safe, reduces fatigue, and makes your fleet more attractive to new recruits.
