Lumper Services

What is a Lumper Service?

Lumper Service is when the shipper or receiver hires third-party workers to provide loading and unloading services for the freight on their trailers. This service is most commonly used within the grocery and food service industry. Ideally, lumper services can benefit all parties involved in the supply-chain (Drivers get more time to rest; reduces a driver’s risk of injury during the unloading process; faster unloading times enable driver’s to leave promptly). For the shipper/receiver, it helps reduce loading and unloading service times during periods of normal shipping demand and improves customer relations.
