Shippers who utilize a Partial Truckload solution with Sunset Pacific Transportation experience faster transit times, reduced claims and better service compared to traditional LTL.
"Our pilot with Partners in Chicago has been wildly successful over the last few months" says Josh Craig, Executive President at Sunset Pacific Transportation. "It's exciting to now expand the relationship with a proven execution plan in place, offering customers even more lanes with the same great service and rates we've always had."

"Sunset Pacific is a natural fit for a strategic partnership" adds Stefan Freeman, CEO at Partners Warehouse. "Both companies are excited to now make an even more comprehensive network of lanes available to our customers." In addition to Partial Truckload and Volume LTL shipping from Chicago origins to all 48 states, Partners also specializes in helping clients manage shipments to and from Mexico for a total North America nearshoring solution.
