“We are pleased to offer the advantage of a reconfigured network with faster service,” said John O’Sullivan, president of USF Holland. “In addition, loading patterns designed for the direct transfer of goods mean that shipments are handled less and benefit customers by giving even better damage- free delivery performance.”

With nearly half its lanes being served next-day, the company says it has more next-day lanes within its operating area than any other transportation company with comparable coverage. Reengineered lanes also allows USF Holland to provide greater flexibility to make pickups later in the day and still meet stringent transit standards, according  to the company news release.

“USF Holland has built its reputation on extremely reliable, claim-free next-day service,” O’Sullivan continued. “Upgrading these lanes to next-day delivery is the most effective way for our customers to benefit from a ‘USF Holland level’ of service to and from America’s Heartland.”
