Lanter Delivery Systems is the country’s recognized leader in overnight delivery of critical parts and daily stock orders for essential industries including automotive, agriculture, manufacturing, industrial, retail and heavy trucking.
We specialize in three areas:
- Night Unattended Delivery
- Scheduled LTL
- Retail Pool Distribution
Night Unattended Delivery is Lanter’s core service offering where we arrange for the pick-up of your shipments from a regionalized Parts Distribution Center in the afternoon and arrange for delivery of that freight to your location next day, before the start of business. These parts are transported throughout our extensive nationwide network. Deliveries are able to be made unattended by drivers in our network being granted access to a designated delivery area at the branch or dealer facility.
Lanter’s scheduled LTL service provides your company with a daily scheduled delivery cadence going to your dealerships, stores, or branches at a precisely set time. We arrange a wide variety of delivery services such as direct store, front-door, lift-gate, cross-docking, and more.
Pool Distribution takes LTL shipments and combines them on fewer trucks, taking these shipments to a terminal where the products are sorted and reloaded. This day or night freight transportation solution allows high volume shippers to “pool” freight travelling to multiple destinations in full truckload quantities. These truckloads are received at one of our many hub facilities where the freight is “cross-docked” onto final-mile delivery trucks. Our nationwide facilities are strategically located to fully service the US market on a “next day” delivery schedule.
Using an extensive customization process, we create a custom Overnight Unattended Delivery service for you built on our Shared Network solution. The Shared Network, developed across the nation over the past 40+ years, makes this custom-built delivery service possible.
