Reliability, Delivered.

Outdated Chassis is an industry-wide problem – stay ahead of the game with Milestone.

• Customer: National Retail Systems (NRS)

The Backstory

Considering the sheer number of products and goods National Retail Systems, Inc. (NRS) ships across the country each year, reliability is not only key – it’s imperative. Last year the 3PL handled more than 4 billion pounds of freight, completed 50 million truck miles and executed over 250,000 store deliveries. For one customer alone, NRS provided drayage for up to 1,000 containers, up to 50 store deliveries per store, per night in New York City, and 20 million pounds consolidated and de-consolidated per week in New York/New Jersey and Los Angeles / Long Beach.

The Challenge

“The bulk of chassis in today’s market is old and unreliable, some of which have been in circulation
for years – even 20 years,” says Steve Schulein, Vice President of Drayage and Industry Relations at NRS. “With up keep they are expensive to maintain, not to mention there are a number of safety concerns. Outdated chassis is an industry-wide problem.”
