The Problem

Shipping coffee should not slow your business down.

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.

“I had equipment delivered to my shop by Fair Trade Logistics, and the service was outstanding. The delivery was fast, on time, and honestly exceeded my expectations. The owner, Nathan, went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly and was handled with care. Communication was clear and professional throughout the process. If you need reliable logistics and excellent customer service, I highly recommend Fair Trade Logistics.”

“We've worked with Nathan Crooks and his team for going on five years now, and I cannot say enough good things about how well they've taken care of us. Not only are their prices very competitive with other logistics companies, they process quote inquiries and BOL requests quickly, respond to emails or hop on a call when needed, partner with us to troubleshoot processes with warehouses to ensure timely pick ups, and work to remedy any problems that come up. My only complaint? There should be a six star rating.”

“A great broker really shines when a problem comes up and it has to be handled. This has happened a few times, usually after hours. Nathan responded quickly and resolved the problem. It gives me peace of mind and one less thing to worry about knowing Fair Trade Logistics has my shipments covered.”

“With a fresh product, time is of the essence. With an ever shrinking profit margin, reliable quotes are essential. FTL hits the mark on both issues, providing timely quotes and logistic fulfillment that start and stay on budget.”
