The Load it Once Modular Solution
Only Budd Van Lines drivers have the opportunity to work with the patented Load It Once modular moving system– the only truck that removes double-handling on shipments going to storage.
Increased Driver Productivity
The Load It Once System has increased labor productivity by 98%! In the past, it could take over 100 man hours to load, off-load, and re-load two 28,000lb shipments. With Load It Once, we can off-load and load two shipments in an astounding 37 minutes.
Now a driver gains more time to cover additional shipments and safely meet hours of service regulations.
Maximize Your Move Efficiency
The Load It Once System transforms Budd Van Lines’ approach to challenging residential moves, allowing seamless access to once difficult locations. By separating the trailer from the front-end unit, the reliance on shuttle trucks is eliminated, optimizing maneuverability and efficiency. This innovative technology not only streamlines the loading process but also reflects our commitment to precision and reliability, setting new industry standards.
Eco-Crate System
Exclusive to Budd Van Lines, the Eco-Crate System is the environmentally friendly, safe and economic alternative to crating. Eco-Crates allow us to give more opportunities for additional services to our drivers – not a third party company.
