Green Means: Understanding your need for operational excellence.

Standard Forwarding knows how critical it is for you to secure timely, cost-effective transportation solutions across your supply chain. We know the importance of on-time delivery as it relates to production and inventory, and understand the challenges you face with changing market conditions and price pressures. That’s why we focus on proactive solutions and superb execution.

Green Means: On-time and intact.

With 17 strategically located terminals across the Midwest, green means reliable overnight LTL service in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Omaha, NE and St. Louis, MO. It means seamless LTL service to and from Canada, Alaska and Hawaii. But what green means, above all else, is an assurance of timely, claims-free performance. Our claims ratio is a record industry low and our on-time performance of 99% speaks volumes.

Green Means: We’ll “Make the First Call.”

We know that you count on Standard Forwarding to keep your business moving. That’s why we offer the latest in information technology, including onboard computers and a state-of-the-art website providing real time information. In the unlikely event that a pick-up or delivery is delayed, rest assured, the phone call will come early. We’ll “Make the First Call,” no exceptions, no surprises. It’s one more reason Standard Forwarding is regarded as the most proactive carrier for problem resolution.

Green Means: The best team. At your service.

At Standard Forwarding, we’re confident in saying that we have the most highly-skilled transport team in the industry. As a wholly-owned subsidiary of DHL Freight, Standard Forwarding has the financial backing to ensure that our fleet is up to speed with the latest technology. Industry awards are a benchmark to our performance.
