4. Cross-docking services
Streamline your entire supply chain at least three times with cross-dock operations.
Instead of dispatching three separate trucks to three unloading points, consolidate shipments so that each carrier delivers all goods to a single store. Turn sequential operations into fewer parallel ones.
Moreover, you eliminate queues at unloading points, speed up related processes, and reduce the workload on your staff by removing several costly intermediate operations.
Freshness is lost in warehouses. So, Hugo Hunter keeps freight flowing.

6. FTL
Hugo Hunter secures full truckload capacity for you when demand is at its peak.
At the same time, we blend guaranteed contract coverage with tactical spot opportunities, giving you both the capacity to move full truckloads and the cost stability to protect your budget.

7. LTL
Hugo Hunter turns LTL into your strategy advantage through milk runs and consolidation hubs.
Ignoring small batches while farmers rarely harvest by the full truckload leaves valuable supply stranded. We deliver small volumes efficiently, so you can focus on bigger goals.

8. Warehousing in Charlotte
In harvest season, we use our Charlotte warehouse as a dynamic buffer that accelerates your routing.
By staging freight for rapid redeployment, we protect freshness, improve routing options, and prevent bottlenecks that cripple other networks.
Whoever controls the buffer controls the flow. And we make sure you do.

9. Flatbed freight
Hugo Hunter covers flatbed needs early, moving pallets, bins, and farm equipment with step decks and Conestogas ready before demand spikes.
Harvest supply chains fail not only when produce is delayed but also when support materials or special equipment don’t arrive on time. By keeping it flowing when needed, we safeguard the backbone of the harvest.
Flatbed freight is the hidden infrastructure of every successful harvest season.
