Freight keeps getting damaged during shipping?
White-glove unload and on-site handoff solutions for Louisiana, LA.
You've had multiple shipments arrive damaged. Your customers are complaining, and you're losing money on replacements. Whether it's poor handling, bad packaging, or rough drivers, something needs to change before your next Louisiana delivery.
Freight damage happens when drivers rush unloading or don't understand your product. Standard carriers drop and go. No one checks for damage until it's too late. Your aluminum poles get dented, steel gets scratched, and oversized items shift during transport.
Damage claims cost you time and money. Replacement shipments delay your projects. Customer complaints hurt your reputation. The problem gets worse when drivers don't know how to handle specialty cargo or work with your receiving team properly.
Document everything with photos before accepting delivery. Check your packaging meets carrier requirements for your freight class. Choose drivers trained in careful handling and customer service. Gateway Distribution provides white-glove unload service with drivers who represent your brand at delivery.
Your shipments arrive intact and your customers stay happy. No more damaged freight claims or angry phone calls. Your drivers work directly with receiving teams to ensure proper handoff every time.
