How it works
Assess your storage and fulfillment needs
We start by understanding your SKU count, inventory volume, order volume, and any special handling requirements — temperature, hazmat, high value, or oversized.
Receive and store your inventory
Your freight is received at our warehouse, checked in against your packing lists, and stored in a designated location with inventory tracking so you know exactly what you have and where.
Pick, pack, and fulfill orders
When orders come in, our team picks the items, packs them to your specifications, and ships them via the carrier and service level your customer expects.
Reporting and inventory visibility
You get regular inventory reports and can request updates anytime. We flag low stock levels so you can replenish before running out.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a freight broker and a 3PL?
A freight broker arranges transportation but does not handle goods physically. A 3PL (third-party logistics provider) takes physical possession of your inventory and manages storage, handling, and fulfillment on your behalf. Route 89 offers both — transportation brokerage and 3PL services — so you can work with one partner for your entire logistics operation.
Do you offer short-term or overflow warehousing?
Yes. We can accommodate short-term storage for seasonal overflow, project-based inventory, or freight waiting for distribution. You pay for the space and time you use — no long-term commitments required for overflow needs.
Can you handle fulfillment for e-commerce orders?
Yes — pick, pack, and ship fulfillment is a core part of our 3PL offering. We can receive orders from your e-commerce platform and ship to your end customers using the carrier and service level they expect.
How do I maintain visibility into my inventory at your warehouse?
We provide regular inventory reports and can share real-time inventory status on request. You will know exactly how many units are on hand, what has shipped, and when you need to replenish.
