Coffee shippers juggle appointments, warehouse transfers, LTL claims, delivery windows, packaging, equipment, and carrier re-bills. Usually with a broker who doesn't know a DO number from detention. Missed appointments cost money Storage fees, re-delivery, and unhappy warehouses. Claims and accessorials eat margin Damaged bags and bad delivery information turn into charges. Carrier reliability is everything One no-show can stall a roast schedule for a week.
