Brokerage Services We Offer

As a 3PL brokerage services provider, our goal is to become your one-stop shop for transportation logistics solutions. Our expertise in transporting refrigerated and frozen goods allows us to handle all of your sensitive cold chain logistics for you. We’ve developed strategic relationships that enable us to provide an extensive range of service offerings, including frozen LTL shipping, warehousing, cross-docking, and redelivery.

  • Shipping and Transportation

    Whether you need local, regional, or nationwide LTL transport for your goods, we’re equipped to meet your needs through reputable carriers and competitive rates.

    • Temperature-Controlled LTL Brokerage

      Temperature-controlled LTL shipments consist of temperature-sensitive goods in quantities that only make up a partial truckload. This shipping method is intended for both refrigerated and frozen goods ranging from food products for human or animal consumption to non-food items like pharmaceuticals or chemicals that still require cold transportation.

      LTL shipments are advantageous when you don’t have a full truck’s worth of goods but you don’t want to — or can’t — wait until you can fill a trailer. This is particularly beneficial for perishable items because you can deliver them faster, and LTL shipping can also save on transportation costs.

      Many industries produce temperature-sensitive goods that require careful monitoring and controlled environmental conditions. For example, food and beverage industry products have specific acceptable temperature ranges for storage and shipment to retain their proper taste, optimal freshness, and nutritional value. The pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries also require temperature-controlled environments so product performance won’t suffer.

Multi-Vendor Consolidation

As a trusted multi-vendor consolidation partner, Mulder Brothers offers cost-effective logistical solutions for achieving on-time deliveries while reducing expenses, labor, and emissions. Multi-vendor consolidation services involve strategically combining LTL shipments from multiple vendors into a single load within one truck's trailer. Multi-vendor consolidation makes the most of a trailer's open space to save on costs and cut back on the number of trips it takes to complete shipments. Utilizing this service offers many benefits, including:

LTL and consolidated shipping methods optimize transportation efficiency, decreasing trips and streamlining operations to simplify your supply chain.

Greater efficiency equates to time savings. While we handle your cold chain logistics, your team is free to focus on other aspects of your business and what you do best.

Consolidating your shipments with those from other businesses on one truck can result in significant savings without sacrificing service quality or delivery timeframes. You’ll also have increased purchasing power with your chosen vendors.

By partnering with fewer vendors, you’ll be able to develop stronger and more rewarding relationships.

Walmart Consolidation Program

Walmart Consolidation ProgramView Walmart Delivery ScoresNo matter the scale of your logistics needs, Mulder Brothers is equipped to provide the right solutions. As an example, we are an approved consolidation partner in the Walmart Consolidation Program.

This program combines LTL shipments from multiple manufacturers and suppliers at its distribution centers to achieve full-truckload (FTL) shipments. Our team will guide you through Walmart’s stringent requirements to meet deadlines and avoid penalties by coordinating experienced pickup, order consolidation, and delivery services.

  • The process starts when a supplier sends a shipping notification that an order is ready.
  • Under the program, the orders will be picked up and brought to the nearest consolidation warehouse.
  • Workers will then combine LTL orders that have similar final destinations onto one truck for transport closer to the end location and, ultimately, a Walmart store.

As part of the program, you’ll benefit from reduced shipping costs and optimized processes. Walmart has strict standards regarding deliveries, and Mulder Brothers can help you navigate the program’s complexities so that you can comply with their regulations and raise your OTIF score. We execute this program with proven efficiency, as evidenced by our Must-Arrive-By Date (MABD) scores, which we update periodically on our MABD score page.
