A Complete Approach to Freight Handling
Every shipment is more than just freight — it’s a promise to a customer. Meeting that promise means moving products quickly, accurately, and without damage from the moment they arrive at the dock until they’re ready for sale.
At American Freight Service, we keep your freight moving at every stage. From unloading to repacking, kitting, and on-site rework, our teams work with precision and accountability to reduce delays and costs. Our blend of AFS lumpers, supervised labor, and reliable logistics labor ensures your supply chain stays on track.
Step One: Efficient, Accurate Unloading
Unloading is the first opportunity to protect timelines and reduce handling risks. Our AFS lumpers work quickly and carefully to get freight off the truck, inspected, and organized. This reduces detention time for carriers and ensures goods are ready for the next step in the supply chain.

Step Two: Kitting and Repacking for Compliance and Presentation
Once freight is unloaded, it may need to be repacked or kitted to meet retailer requirements or create promotional bundles. Our repacking and kitting services help ensure compliance with packaging standards while enhancing shelf appeal.
From labeling to bundling, our supervised teams follow exact specifications to reduce errors and improve order accuracy — keeping products retail-ready and customer-ready.
Step Three: On-Site Freight Rework
When issues arise — such as mislabeling, shifted loads, or damaged packaging — fast action prevents costly delays. Our freight rework services are completed at your location, avoiding unnecessary back-and-forth trucking and reducing downtime.
On-site rework with built-in supervision keeps the process efficient, accurate, and transparent.
AFS Supervision Makes the Difference
At each stage, AFS brings supervised labor to ensure quality and accountability. Supervisors provide real-time guidance, troubleshoot issues, and keep teams aligned with your operational goals. This model ensures consistent performance, fewer errors, and stronger communication between your team and ours.
