What is Reverse logistics? The full definition of reverse logistics, according to the CSCMP, is the process of implementing, controlling, and planning the cost-effective flow of finished goods, raw materials, and in-process inventory.  In the case of reverse logistics, the flow is upstream from the customer back to the manufacturer. Conventionally, things start at the manufacturer and flow downstream to the customer. When thinking of examples, try to define customer in the broadest sense. It could be the mom returning baby clothes back to Amazon due to size issues or a clothes manufacturer that misprints 10,000 shirts and needs to get rid of all of them. Either way, the items have now detoured from their normal downstream flow and headed into the reverse logistics [...]

Check your carrier's CSA Scores| We are a local Kansas city carrier with a good safety reputation As a shipper, other than picking a local Kansas Vity carrier based off adequate capacity and price, are you taking the time to investigate a carrier’s Compliance, Safety, and Accountability (CSA) scores? From my experience, this may not always be the case. Naturally, shippers are always looking to cut costs on transportation while maintaining the expectation that their goods will get to point A to point B with little trouble. This seems to be their main focal point and while understandable, checking a carrier's safety profile can also be useful. There are potential pitfalls that come along with a sloppy carrier vetting process. A shipper who handles [...]

Pulse Logistics and it's Kansas City Warehousing Operation There is a common theme associated with Pulse Logistic's umbrella of services; they all have the potential to be interwoven with one another. Cross-docking leads to asset-based deliveries that are either local or regional. The relationships we have built with our trucking customers can lead to more cross-docking opportunities as well. Now, like we talked about in the last post, cross docking is not meant for long-term storage. It is utilized for short turnarounds only and is charged by a simple one-time fee. But what happens if a customer wants to bring us freight and leave it at our facilities for an extended amount of time? The requested service is no longer in the realm of [...]

Local Kansas City Logistics Company with Cross-Docking Capabilities We are not just a trucking company. In the last blog post we covered three main questions about trucking: What do we move? Where do we move it? What do we move it with? By answering those, you should now have a deeper understanding of our trucking operation. Now, if you have noticed, our website is pulselogistics.com with a heavy emphasis on logistics. We do not mention trucking in our URL because our services encompass much more.

To do this effectively we offer more options like cross-docking, warehousing, and brokerage services. [...]
