Merit Logistics Exceeds Expectations in 2023 with Outstanding Unloading Services
In the highly competitive world of logistics, it takes a special team to consistently exceed expectations and provide exceptional services to clients. At Merit Logistics, we have built a culture of excellence, and our team in Ardmore, Oklahoma, exemplifies this culture.
At the core of our success is our commitment to a lean operation that maximizes efficiency without sacrificing quality. In Ardmore, we have a team of 52 full-time employees who are dedicated to unloading. Over the course of the 2023 calendar year, this team unloaded an incredible 84 million cases from more than 31,000 inbound trailers/containers.
The achievement of this feat was only possible due to their tireless work ethic and unwavering attention to detail. Additionally, our team in Ardmore managed to keep the annual overtime percentage below 3%, which is a testament to their ability to work efficiently.
The team’s unloading rate of more than 1,000 cases per man-hour on average is simply remarkable. This level of productivity has helped us keep carrier detention fees to a historic minimum. In fact, only 0.645% of the total inbound loads we received had any detention fee at our distribution center. This is a remarkable achievement that speaks volumes about the dedication and efficiency of our team members.
At Merit Logistics, we believe that a successful business is more than just a collection of talented individuals. It is about fostering a culture of leadership, one in which every member of the team has the opportunity to grow and develop their skills. We are proud of our leadership development program, which has helped our team members in Ardmore and beyond to become the best versions of themselves possible.
Our solid leaders in Ardmore have set a great example for the rest of our team and helped them achieve and surpass their goals. We take great pride in the performance of our team in Ardmore and the results that they have achieved in 2023. We are confident that this team will continue to excel and provide exceptional services. We applaud our team members for all their hard work and dedication and can’t wait to see what they will achieve in the future.
