OVERLAND FREIGHT
Olympic Industries trucking department serves a dual purpose. First and foremost, it is our priority to source trucks that can deliver to our customer’s yard in a timely fashion at competitive rates. We work directly with carriers to provide the best service possible for both our traders on the floor as well as the customers that they service. We work to provide transportation solutions to give our traders current information, offering the best value to our customers. Olympics’ overall buying power provides customers the option to have products delivered mill direct or from our various distribution locations; this offers customers the ability to plan their business for the future as well as cover their immediate needs. The department’s second focus is a training ground for future traders; by developing an understanding of freight dynamics, junior traders are able to learn the business before stepping into trading. As our secondary focus is a training platform we consistently have new people joining the department excited to learn transportation and develop relationships with both new and existing carriers.
