Delivering Beyond Expectations

To our Valued Clients,

As I reflect on my 35 years in the freight industry, I’ve had the opportunity to work with several carriers, each with its own set of challenges. However, none have been as intricate and rewarding as my experience with The Erb Group. Our broad range of services—spanning LTL, TL, home delivery, and cold storage—truly sets us apart in the industry.

One of the most demanding aspects of our operations is managing temperature-sensitive freight, which is no small feat! In addition to ensuring timely delivery and the intact arrival of goods, we must also maintain the temperature integrity of every shipment. This is crucial not only to prevent financial losses from compromised products but also to ensure public health and safety.

Despite the challenges we face, our work at Erb is essential. We operate in a critical industry, ensuring the safe and reliable transport of goods. Erb is more than just a business; our commitment to providing efficient and effective service expands consumers’ access to a greater variety and choice of food. Our dedication helps the industry and community thrive by ensuring access to vibrant and nutritious food options, while also supporting organizations that share our mission. Our ability to manage these complexities with precision and care is a testament to our expertise and commitment to overseeing the specialized operations of bringing food to families’ tables.

What sets The Erb Group apart is not just our range of services but also the remarkable individuals behind the scenes. Many of our team members have been with us for 25, 30, or even 40 years, bringing a wealth of experience and knowledge to their roles. Their commitment is evident in every aspect of our operations, from managing late-night shipments to ensuring timely deliveries. Their dedication is what allows us to deliver consistently exceptional service to you, our valued clients.

I recall a memorable moment working at an Employee Appreciation Barbecue in the middle of the night at one of our remote cross-dock terminals. Watching the steady flow of trucks and personnel working tirelessly to keep everything running smoothly was a powerful reminder of the dedication that drives our industry.

While most of the world slept, our team ensured that everything our clients needed would be available the next day—demonstrating the effort and skill required to make this happen.

As we celebrate our 65th anniversary, I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to you, our clients, for your trust and support. It’s your confidence in our services that drives us to continually improve and innovate, and to our incredible team, your dedication is the cornerstone of our success. Together, we navigate challenges, embrace opportunities, and deliver exceptional service day in and day out.

Thank you for being a crucial part of The Erb Group’s journey. Here’s to many more years of excellence and innovation.

Warm regards,

Marty Otten
VP of Sales, The Erb Group
