Getting your order from a confirmed quote to your dock shouldn’t take a hundred emails or phone calls. Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at what happens once you place an order with us.
What Most Suppliers Do
Most building materials suppliers hand freight off to a broker once a sale closes. The broker finds a carrier, the carrier moves the load, and everybody in that chain has a slightly different set of priorities and a slightly different answer when something goes wrong. If your delivery is late, the supplier points to the broker, the broker points to the carrier, and you’re the one stuck chasing an answer.
It’s a game of telephone with your delivery caught in the middle; by the time a message makes it back to you, it’s been passed through two other companies first, and there’s no guarantee it came out the other end saying what actually happened. Three companies, three sets of incentives, and none of them are fully accountable to you.
We built our own in-house Silvaris Complete Logistics team specifically to avoid that. No broker sits between your order and your delivery, and no third party gets to decide how your load gets handled once it leaves the yard.
What Silvaris Complete Logistics Handles
Once your order is confirmed, our logistics team takes it from there, start to finish. That means booking the carrier, coordinating pickup, tracking the load in transit and staying on top of anything that could affect your delivery window. One logistics representative owns your load from pickup to delivery, so you’re not re-explaining your order to a different person every time you call.
Their status updates stay visible to the rest of the logistics team, though, so coverage doesn’t disappear just because one person is out or tied up on another call. It’s built directly into how we process every order, not bolted on afterward as a separate step once the sale is done. The same system that confirms your purchase order is the one that hands your load to logistics, so nothing sits waiting between steps.
Truck or Rail, Wherever It Makes Sense
We move freight by truckload, intermodal and railcar across North America, and our team decides which mode fits a given order based on distance, volume, dock requirement and timing, not on whichever option happens to be easiest for us. For long-haul or high-volume orders, rail can be the best choice. For smaller volume long distances, intermodal is best. For most regional deliveries, truckload gets it there faster. Either way, that decision gets made by people who already know your order, not handed off to whoever picks up the load next in a broker’s queue.
One Team, No Hand-Offs
The real difference isn’t the trucks or the railcars themselves. It’s that one team owns your order the entire way through, from the moment it’s confirmed to the moment it shows up. There’s no hand-off between departments, no separate company managing the freight side and no gap where nobody quite knows where your load is. If something changes along the way: weather, a routing issue, a delay at the yard, you hear it directly from us, not secondhand from a broker relaying what a carrier told them a day ago.
That’s what “one point of contact” means in practice with Silvaris Complete Logistics. Not an empty slogan, just fewer people between you and your delivery—and one team that’s accountable for the whole thing instead of just their piece of it. If you’ve ever had a delivery go sideways and gotten three different answers about why, we’re the alternative.
