Consolidating OSI’s and East Balt’s products onto the
same shipments eliminates over 200 truckloads annually to one
distribution center alone. This reduction of shipments saved the
system approximately $127,000 during the third and fourth quarter
of 2013 and first quarter of 2014 and reduced CO2 emissions by 55
metric tons.
This initiative is being evaluated for potential implementation
at additional distribution centers and will be expanded as other
opportunities arise.
