final mile / white glove delivery
Advanced Logistics Network (ALN) has developed a final mile program for local, regional, and national shippers who wish to pursue an e-commerce strategy of delivering directly to a residence, congested area, job site, or a small commercial location. Shipments can be delivered directly to our final mile carriers’ dock, or our carriers can pick up the shipments from the customer’s distribution site. Our carriers arrange for delivery, make the delivery, and provide the necessary documentation for the customer in a timely manner.
The ALN current customer base has a variety of products, which require delivery in vehicles as small as a Sprinter van or as a large as a 53’ dry van, and everything in between. The normal delivery is made in a 26’ box truck with liftgate. Shipments may require two associates for the delivery, pallet jacks, dunnage return and disposal, or the use of a forklift. Each carrier has a dock and the appropriate equipment to service their designated metro area.
ALN arranges for the carrier to be qualified to meet your requirements and qualification process. You will have direct access to each of these asset-based carriers, if you so choose. Each carrier has been vetted for safety, compliance, and insurance coverage meeting your guidelines. The carrier rates are provided in a standard format, which is typically based on weight and mileage bands.

These carriers can provide dry vans, reefers, or flatbeds for local pickup and delivery. They can provide dedicated or project-oriented services.
