The Hidden Costs of Inconsistent Labor
Logistics is built on precision. Every missed shift, misloaded pallet, or delayed unload adds costs that go far beyond wages. Many businesses turn to temp agencies for quick labor, only to discover the hidden expenses of high turnover, lack of supervision, and inconsistent quality.
At American Freight Service, we provide reliable logistics labor that keeps supply chains efficient and cost-effective. Our crews are trained, supervised, and committed to doing the job right — protecting your bottom line.
Why Reliability Matters
When you partner with AFS, you’re not just filling a shift. You’re gaining a dependable team that shows up ready, communicates clearly, and works with accuracy. Reliable labor reduces the frequency of costly issues such as:
- Freight damage during unloading
- Detention fees from slow dock turnaround
- Errors in labeling, sorting, or kitting
- Rework caused by poor handling
Explore how our supervised labor model creates accountability and consistency every shift.
The AFS Advantage Over Temp Agencies

Key advantages of AFS vs. temp agencies:

Protecting Costs Across the Supply Chain
Reliable logistics labor reduces waste, improves efficiency, and strengthens customer relationships. That stability leads directly to cost savings:
- Fewer returns and claims due to reduced freight damage
- Lower detention fees thanks to faster unloading
- Higher throughput with efficient, supervised teams
- Better retention with crews committed to long-term work
When you’re hiring freight workers through AFS, you’re investing in labor that adds value instead of hidden costs.
