Transportation

Affiliated Foods Midwest offers full service transportation to member retailers. Members have the option to either utilize services provided by Affiliated Foods Midwest, or provide their own transportation solution. Affiliated Foods Midwest owns and operates a fleet of over 130 trucks, 250 trailers and employs 130 drivers.

  • Rates are established on a CWT basis, determined by distance from the warehouse.
  • A reduced rate is applied per CWT for stores equipped with pallet unload.
FOB Should a member retailer decide to handle their own freight, Affiliated Foods Midwest also cooperates with outside carriers, pending Affiliated Foods Midwest approval.
  • Affiliated drivers are a member of your team, and they are there to assist you in unloading. Unloading is a team effort. We take pride in our drivers, as they are a key contact with member retailers.

Unload Assist The Transportation Division is self-insured. The fleet is owned by the Cooperative Member Retailers. Any equipment damage as a result impacts each Member’s patronage. Affiliated Foods Midwest requires all Member Retailers to assist in directing a truck while backing into, retail location.

Freight Recovery As a means of offsetting transportation cost, Affiliated Foods Midwest aggressively pursues backhauls where possible.

  • Advertising Benefits: Our tractor/trailers travel the 16 states and are seen by thousands of consumers daily.
