We know that trust and reliability are critical factors required to provide exceptional service and that accessibility and personalized service is essential to the success of our partnership and ultimately to the success of your business.

The Customer Experience

On-Time Delivery

We hold a long-standing reputation of executing timely, accurate deliveries of the highest quality product, with deliveries throughout the Greater St. Louis Metro and outlying areas up to six days a week.

Our Customer Service and Account Specialists will assist customers with any special delivery instructions and establish delivery windows. Any product that falls short of exceeding expectations or determined to be of unfit quality at delivery will be immediately credited to the customer or replaced as quickly as possible.

Electronic Log Data (ELD) mounted in the dash of all delivery trucks allows up-to-the-minute tracking of orders so customers can stay updated and informed about where their order is and when it will arrive at their location.
