For over 40 years Heritage Transport has offered our customers reliable pickups, regardless of size. We are proud to provide logistical excellence with a fully-equipped extensive fleet of vehicles, while staying focused on growth. Our growth has been ever-present this year with the acquisition of Frank’s Vacuum Truck Service, adding a service line for freight brokerage. This additional service line expands our truck capacity to provide a deeper level of strategic support throughout the U.S. and Canada.
Since its founding in 1979, Frank’s Vacuum Truck Service has established a reputation for safety and performance. Our freight brokerage service offers full coordination of full load and less-than-load (LTL) shipments of general commodity materials, backed by the confidence that only comes with personalized, full-service support.
To learn more about this new service offering, we spoke with Becky Adams, who has worked in brokerage for 23 years, and at Frank’s for seven. Frank’s full-service approach to brokerage sets them apart, Becky said. “Going the extra mile for the customer lets them know they can count on us to be there. They know if anything happens or if something is needed last minute we will take care of it, we will make things happen, and resolve all the issues,”
Becky said. “Any situation that may arise, we handle to make sure the outcome is to the benefit of all involved, operating ethically with transparency and integrity.”
A trusted partner, Frank’s client base currently includes Fortune 500 corporations, industrial facilities, chemical processors, utility companies, railroads, contractors, engineering firms, government agencies, TSDFs, and other waste generators throughout the U.S. and Canada. Backed by decades of experience and Heritage Transport’s nationwide logistics network, our freight brokerage services help to ensure that shipments are on time and on budget by leveraging our expertise, relationships, and resources.
“Frank’s has hired people with good work ethic. They realize they are not only representing Frank’s, but also their customer. Our performance is just an extension of the customer’s company,” Becky said.
We’re straight-forward in our approach, and build trust through honesty, dedication, and commitment. To ensure the integrity of our partnerships, we leverage Carrier411 and the U.S. Department of Transportation SAFER System Company Snapshot tool to continuously monitor safety scores, insurance coverage, and authority of our carrier relationships.
Becky shared that a key part in the day-to-day business is striving to provide personalized and high-level partner support. “We discuss with our customers daily how their business is going. We will often give the customer cost-saving ideas on their transportation needs. We work with them on specialized projects and can give them insight on rates and current market situations around the country. We educate our customers on the different aspects of transportation and how using different modes of transportation as well as different equipment can help their bottom line as well as meet their clients’ needs,” Becky said.
Frank’s is proud to partner with customers across the nation providing hands-on logistical support. Click here to download a more comprehensive guide to our freight brokerage service line.
