Our Services
Transportation and Logistics
As one of the premier frozen LTL freight providers in Michigan, Mulder Brothers Brokerage has a trusted network of transportation and storage partners that we work with to make sure your products are delivered on time and in full. While temperature-sensitive products are our bread and butter, we work with a wide variety of clients in various industries to find great routes at competitive rates through solutions such as cross-docking.
Our team works hard to negotiate the best possible prices for our customers while ensuring that their materials will be handled with care. We also prioritize transparency and communication with our customers, which includes sharing detailed information on their shipments as soon as we’re able.
Multi-Vendor Consolidation
In addition to LTL, Mulder Brothers also offers multi-vendor consolidation services to help our clients save money on labor and equipment and cut back on carbon emissions. Our team will look at our current LTL shipments and find creative ways to combine them into a single load.
Multi-vendor consolidation helps keep shipping costs low while maintaining product integrity by preventing spoilage and enabling on-time deliveries. These programs need a combination of strict management and careful consideration to ensure that stops and deliveries are scheduled in a way that maximizes efficiency while ensuring consistent temperature control throughout the process. We frequently perform extensive logistical planning for both large retailers and smaller businesses to find the best possible solution.
Walmart Consolidation
If you’re a Walmart vendor, we’re happy to help you save money and follow Walmart’s strict rules regarding deadlines to avoid fines. As an approved partner in the Walmart Consolidation Pool Program, we configure LTL pickup and delivery schedules for product manufacturers so they can quickly fill small orders without having to pay for a full shipment truckload.
As part of that strategy, we use rigorous, data-informed schedules for distributing products through a deep network of warehouses and streamline the process for reduced costs and increased flexibility. The experienced staff at Mulder Brothers can also guide you through the strict requirements Walmart has to meet deadlines and avoid penalties by coordinating reliable pickup, consolidation, and delivery services.
Temperature-Controlled LTL Services
If you’re looking for a frozen LTL freight provider in Michigan, you’ve come to the right place. The LTL model is an ideal choice for companies shipping temperature-controlled products because it allows them to be delivered even faster than they otherwise would have.
Our team has many years of experience with temperature-controlled, frozen, and deep-freeze logistics. The partners we work with have temperature-controlled trucks that allow us to meet the standards of the FDA and the Food Safety Modernization Act when it comes to temperature, storage, and handling. While large food manufacturers are our main clientele, we also service many smaller frozen food product manufacturers to pool their products into our consolidation program.
Mulder Brothers is one of the few fully equipped frozen LTL solutions in Michigan. We frequently coordinate transportation and warehousing of frozen food products such as dinners, meats, seafood, bread, dairy, juice, and more.
Storage and Warehousing
Mulder Brothers is proud to offer Michigan companies high-quality and trustworthy storage and warehousing services as part of a transportation strategy or as a standalone service through our partnership with Cold-Link Logistics Holland. We look at the whole logistics picture when it comes to storage and transportation. By pairing the storage with the transportation consolidation we can offer a more aggressive pricing package. We also provide temperature-controlled, refrigerated, and frozen warehousing services as well.
Why Choose Mulder Brothers?
Mulder Brothers Brokerage was created from a partnership with Art Mulder & Sons Trucking (AMST), which was a family-owned and operated business since it was founded in 1971. We have a deep history and understanding of truck brokerage because we have real experience owning trucks and delivering freight ourselves.
