Who we support
Component manufacturers & fabricators
Indoor hold and shipping for your customers when multi-month staging beats outdoor laydown—grating, skids, switchgear, busway, racks, cooling modules, and related assemblies.
OEMs & integrators
OFCI / free-issue holds near Midwest builds with inventory discipline and JIT release for high-value IT and finished gear.
GCs & project teams
Overflow staging and sequenced site drops that protect the critical path—plus construction-materials final-mile when the yard fills.
3PL partners
Local final-mile and indoor hold for high-value server components after your linehaul—appointment delivery, inventory, and swap support. Partner capacity, not a competing linehaul offer.
Partner with 3PLs on high-value final mile
National and regional 3PLs already move freight to the Midwest. When the last miles demand appointment windows, site escorts, careful handling of high-value server components, and indoor hold before release, Shetler steps in as your local final-mile and staging partner—without replacing your linehaul.
What we take from you
- Linehaul handoff at our dock or yours
- High-value server / IT component freight
- OEM or customer delivery instructions
- Time-definite site windows
What we deliver
- Secure indoor hold until the site is ready
- Final-mile delivery into the facility
- White-glove / appointment equipment handling
- Photo inventory & exception reporting back to you
Why 3PLs use us
- Local Evansville & Louisville coverage
- Commercial crews used to high-value freight
- Swap / reship support when units fail QC
- One partner instead of ad-hoc local carriers
High-value shipping in air-ride, padded trailers
Server racks, switchgear, precision assemblies, and other high-value data center components deserve more than a standard dry van. Shetler moves sensitive freight in air-ride, padded trailers—cushioned suspension and padded interiors that reduce shock, vibration, and cosmetic damage from dock to site.
- Air-ride suspension trailers and padded van interiors
- Securement for upright / skidded loads
- Crews trained on high-value handling
- Best for high-value server components, finished racks & enclosures, sensitive electrical assemblies, and swap / RMA return moves
- Paired with indoor staging, appointment final-mile windows, photo inventory, and 3PL partner handoffs
