Our Services
Transportation and Logistics
As one of the premier trucking companies in Des Moines, Iowa, Mulder Brothers specializes in comprehensive transportation logistics. Our network of carrier and storage partners can handle anything from general merchandise to frozen foods.
Frozen and temperature-sensitive products are our specialty, but we have extensive experience across many industries to help businesses move their goods. Our knowledgeable team takes care of every step of the process, from coordinating logistics to frequent tracking updates, to ensure your shipments arrive on time. We are committed to transparency so our clients always stay informed, from pickup to final delivery.
Multi-Vendor Consolidation
Our multi-vendor consolidation service is designed to help businesses combine smaller shipments into one larger load to cut shipping costs without sacrificing quality or timeliness. By partnering with Iowa LTL carriers, we ensure that businesses across the state benefit from reduced labor and equipment expenses.
This consolidation strategy also contributes to a greener supply chain by reducing the number of trips and emissions associated with transporting goods. Mulder Brothers is proud to work with businesses large and small to develop custom solutions that make shipping easier and more efficient.
Our team’s expertise in consolidation ensures that shipments are managed smoothly from start to finish. With transparent communication and seamless execution, you’ll always know where your products are and when they’ll reach their destination.
Walmart Consolidation
Mulder Brothers is an approved partner in the Walmart Consolidation Pool Program, and we’re pleased to help Iowa vendors streamline their shipping processes. We specialize in managing the unique logistics required for Walmart consolidation so smaller orders can be sent without the need for a full truckload.
Our team uses data-driven scheduling to align each shipment with Walmart’s strict requirements and help vendors meet deadlines and avoid penalties. By consolidating shipments, we reduce costs and assist businesses with adapting their shipping strategies to fit Walmart’s guidelines.
Whether you’re a seasoned Walmart vendor or new to the program, Mulder Brothers will help you navigate the process and meet Walmart’s stringent standards.
Temperature-Controlled LTL Services
We partner with a network of trusted frozen and refrigerated LTL carriers in Iowa and across the United States to transport temperature-controlled freight such as frozen foods, pharmaceuticals, and other goods requiring refrigeration or freezers. Iowa’s agriculture and food industries rely heavily on temperature-controlled shipping, and we provide the expertise needed to deliver these goods under ideal conditions.
Our reliable network of LTL freight carriers near you ensures that your temperature-sensitive freight is stored and shipped according to FDA and Food Safety Modernization Act guidelines. With Mulder Brothers, your perishable items will reach their destination promptly and safely.
Storage and Warehousing
Along with our transportation services, Mulder Brothers partners with trusted third-party providers to offer secure warehousing solutions in Iowa. These facilities are equipped with temperature-controlled, refrigerated, and frozen storage options to protect your goods until they’re ready to be shipped. From short- to long-term storage, our warehousing partners provide reliable and safe environments to house your products.
We select our partners based on their reliability and ability to maintain precise temperature controls so your temperature-sensitive goods are kept in optimal conditions. These services are available as part of a larger logistics package or as a standalone solution.
