Work with experts in oversized and complex freight.
Gain a Partner in Logistics
W.I.S. Logistics has coordinated oversized and specialized freight since we were founded in 1996. Some freight loads require specialized equipment, routing, and skills to safely secure, permit, and monitor the shipment.
We begin with a consultation to determine the best way to move your freight. We then coordinate the shipping logistics with experienced carriers. Using our cloud-based tracking system gives the process transparency—plus, you’ll know where your cargo is at any time.
Data Transparency
When you partner with W.I.S. Logistics, one of the benefits is data transparency. The digital workflow of our Transportation Management System (T.M.S.) gives our customers the most up-to-date information. And upon arrival at your freight’s destination, your data in T.M.S. is promptly and securely archived.
Exhibit Freight
Tradeshow and exhibit freight is a growing specialty service that requires time-sensitive planning to protect your company’s marketing investment. We help organize your inventory and make it easy to move your exhibit freight to its next destination and in-and-out of storage.
Shipments arrive on-time and in pristine condition, and your most delicate displays and fixtures are handled with white glove treatment. Leave it to us to create all your documentation, including bills of lading and labels to-and-from the show. We handle the details so you can concentrate on selling.
