 Food Distributors face fierce competition, tight delivery windows and customers who demand more for less.
A report from the Food Distributors International Association documents that 76% of fleets must deliver within a window of 30 minutes or less. These fleets are also becoming more efficient, reducing their cost per mile by 6.9% between 1997 and 1999.
 To help reduce costs while increasing customer service levels, many food distributors turn to full-service commercial truck leasing. PacLease allows distributors to operate high-quality Kenworth and Peterbilt trucks within a fixed budget. Through a full-service lease, food distributors enjoy expert preventive maintenance that minimizes downtime, plus emergency roadside service that helps ensure timely product delivery.
Industry Success
“We worked closely with PacLease to spec our new trucks with strong, lightweight components. PacLease also determined that we could increase our payload by switching from our older three-axle trailers to new utility tridem refrigerated trailers. As a result, we increased our payload by 8 percent.”
