How a National Restaurant Brand Updated Delivery with the Hybrid Sled
A national fast food chain set out to scale its distribution network while navigating the challenges of high-volume demand, driver retention, equipment durability, and operational consistency across diverse delivery environments. Their goal was to ensure that restaurants continued to receive vital supplies efficiently without compromising employee morale or straining logistics partnerships.
To meet this challenge, the brand implemented Rehrig Pacific’s Hybrid Sled and 29x42 pallets. The results were significant: trailer cube utilization improved, resulting in a reduction of delivery routes and lower driver fatigue. The optimized pallet size also enhanced warehouse storage and simplified deliveries.
Over five years at a single distribution center, these changes resulted in $2.8 million in savings and the preservation of 736,005 trees, demonstrating the significant impact of innovative material handling equipment.
