Our customer partnerships, transportation systems, our trained staff and carrier community is what gives us the edge in handling the distribution needs of our customer’s supply chain,” says Dave Butterfield, USCS regional vice president – Midwest. “It is a great value-added service that allows USCS to deliver our customers product, saving them time and effort they can use to focus on production and growing their businesses.”

“The additional space has allowed our customer base to grow, and given us more flexibility to handle additional volume by spreading it over a larger footprint,” he adds. “Additional team members, equipment and leadership are all part of what has been put in place to be one of the largest cooler multi-vendor consolidation programs in the country.”
