LA CAÑADA FLINTRIDGE, CA - Shipping and handling is one critical component of the supply chain—especially when it comes to fresh produce. With the amount of handling and traveling these fresh products go through, naturally, you need a reliable partner. The Allen Lund Company is a national logistics company well-versed—and well-traveled—in the fruits and vegetable sphere, and Bob Rose is eager to provide some highlights to the ANUK team.

“We have 35 offices, and we just added two new offices, one in Boise and one in Des Moines,” the Vice President of National Accounts explained. “Our focus is just to make sure that the product we put on our trucks arrives safely and in a timely manner and is done the way they [our customers] want to.”

A key component to getting fresh produce to shelves quickly and safely is communication. Rose noted great communication is essential to getting the job done and done well. And with its new offices already heavily involved in produce hauling, communicating along the chain goes a long way to building trust while ensuring quality.

“Our customers want real-time information on all of our trucks, so we’ve created an application to do that,” Rose explained. “Our truckers are signing into that app, and we’re working really hard to deliver a high-end product for everybody in the room.”
