Concept 03 · The Manifest

Follow one shipment through the paperwork.

Most freight changes hands three times before it reaches a dock, and every change of hands is a new line on the manifest, a new system, a new person to call. This is what the same document looks like when one company holds the freight the whole way.

    Tendered at the ramp and scanned into Peak custody. The crew that takes it is measured on the delivery window, not on throughput.

    It's trained throughout our whole package handling team to handle every package as if it's their grandmother's glass vase. We want the package to be in the same condition as when we received it.

    Sorted and staged inside the same building. No third-party warehouse, no second system of record, no gap for it to disappear into.

    You stop paying a separate 3PL to hold freight that your carrier is going to collect anyway.

    Asset-Based Trucking

    When a window is at risk, the person who can move a truck answers the phone.

    We understand that the most important metric for trucking is service. We consider ourselves to be partners with all of our customers. What is important to our partners, is equally, if not more important to us.

    Whatever happens

    If a truck breaks or a load falls outside the plan, Peak reworks it on its own assets and stays on the phone. A bad hour is not a missed commitment.
