When people think of supply chains, they often picture trucks, ships, or planes moving goods across borders. But before any cargo reaches its final destination, two critical steps ensure efficiency, reliability, and cost-control: warehousing and distribution.
At TRT International, these functions are more than storage and delivery. They are strategic solutions tailored for oversized, heavy, and project cargo that traditional logistics providers often struggle to handle.
The Role of Warehousing in Today’s Supply Chains
Warehousing is no longer just “a place to store goods.” It’s the heartbeat of modern logistics. For shippers managing global cargo, a warehouse is where flexibility and control come into play:
• Customized Storage for Oversized Freight
Not all freight fits on a standard pallet. Our facilities are designed to handle machinery, industrial parts, and project cargo that require advanced equipment and safe storage solutions.
• Value-Added Services
From repackaging and labeling to container stripping, crating, and cross-docking, warehouses are now service hubs — not just storage points.
• Strategic Positioning Near Ports
TRT International operates near major U.S. ports, reducing drayage costs and speeding up cargo flow. This location advantage helps avoid congestion and keeps supply chains moving.
Distribution: The Critical Next Step
A product stored correctly still needs to move efficiently. That’s where distribution steps in. For oversized and international cargo, planning distribution requires precision:
• Multimodal Transport Options
Combining trucking, rail, and ocean freight ensures heavy cargo reaches destinations on time — and at the best cost.
• Time-Sensitive Deliveries
From urgent boat shipments to last-minute project cargo, distribution must be agile. Our experienced team builds solutions that minimize delays.
• Customer-Focused Visibility
Modern distribution is about more than moving freight — it’s about providing real-time updates so customers know exactly where their cargo is.
Why Warehousing & Distribution Matter More Than Ever
Businesses today face pressure to deliver faster, cheaper, and more reliably. With global disruptions, rising fuel costs, and customer demand for transparency, the old model of “store and ship” doesn’t cut it anymore.
A strong warehousing and distribution strategy can:
• Reduce transit times and costs
• Improve order accuracy
• Provide buffer capacity during supply chain disruptions
• Support scalability for growth and seasonal demand
• Increase customer satisfaction through speed and visibility
