In 1930, Edward Kane traded his car for a used truck to provide local hauling to valley regions of Northeast Pennsylvania. That was the beginning of Kane Freight Lines. Today, Kane manages a truckload fleet of 200 power units and 925 trailers and operates more than 8.5 million square feet in 19 buildings across the U.S. The company remains family-owned and professionally managed.

Kane has a strategic focus on the CPG sector. Our customers include some of the world's most respected consumer product companies and retailers, including Hershey's, Kimberly-Clark, Kraft, PepsiCo, Playtex, Procter & Gamble, Topps, and Wal-Mart.

Distribution. Kane DCs are really product transformation centers where we configure and package goods based on the exact requirements of your retail customers. Facilities are FDA-compliant and consistently achieve superior ratings from the American Institute of Baking. Other features:

• Flexible space/labor to manage seasonal spikes
• Full-featured, RF-enabled WMS
• Basic to highly automated picking processes

Packaging. Kane has invested in advanced packaging equipment, such as Arpack machines, cartoners, check weight machines, and shrink wrapping machines to meet your simple and complex packaging needs.

Transportation. Kane's regional truckload service provides on-time, overnight delivery service to Northeast states for ambient, refrigerated and frozen products. In addition, Kane routinely services nationwide customer deliveries throughout the lower 48 states and Northeastern Canada. Specialized services:

• Cross-docking
• Northeast store delivery
• Load consolidation

Advanced technology and systems are a core element of all solutions:

• Support for all common electronic data interchange (EDI) formats, including advanced ship notices
• Full-featured warehouse management and transportation management systems
• Web access to inventory and order status in real time
• In-house MIS team to support your needs 24/7

In an outsourced services environment, culture matters. You can't afford to partner with a company of clock-watchers who see themselves as one-step removed from your customers. You need team players that understand the critical role they play in your supply chain and will do whatever it takes to satisfy you and your customers. That's the kind of culture we have cultivated at Kane over the last 75 years. Those are the kinds of people we employ.
