Logistics

Domestic & International Supply Chain Management – Our business provides Domestic & International Supply Chain Management. We provide international turnkey solutions including warehousing and distribution alternatives.

KD Outsource provides logistic services to customers for all of their supply chain management needs. We provide door-to-door international freight services including ocean and air freight. Domestically we have very competitive rail and truck transportation capabilities for both East and West Coast customer locations.

Our logistics resources are located at the Port of Savannah, Georgia. The Savannah Port provides our clients a tremendous opportunity for cost savings by moving internationally sourced goods to an east coast warehouse serving 44% of the US population. Savannah provides the most competitive drayage rates in the U.S. because of the proximity of the Port to commercial warehouse facilities.

The warehouse provides truck delivery to and from the Port, transload, cross dock, pick and pack capabilities, and offers LTL shipments at very competitive rates. We also have relationships with West Coast operations if freight is more effectively routed through the West Coast. Our clients can bring freight in through any port and still realize significant savings because of the close relationship we have with our customs brokers and domestic freight carriers.
