Transportation and Freight Management in Riverton, WY for Time-Critical Operations
Freight brokerages sell capacity. Freight management promises arrival. The difference is real when a shipment landing three days early costs you demurrage and storage, and landing three days late costs you a crew, a crane, and an opening date. Redman Van & Storage handles transportation as a planned sequence aligned with what is happening downstream, for shippers across Riverton and for programs that stretch well beyond it. We select the mode and the carrier, schedule to the window the site can accept, monitor the shipment while it is moving, and tell you about a problem while there is still time to solve it.
Coordinating Freight Around a Project Schedule
Program-Driven Sequencing
Shipments are sequenced backward from site readiness. Cargo that cannot be received yet is routed to our warehouse instead of to a dock that will reject it, and released when the site can receive it.
Mode and Carrier Selection
For Riverton shippers, Across WY, For projects in Riverton, LTL, truckload, expedited, flatbed, air, and blanket-wrap van service each address a different challenge. We choose based on the value of the freight, the margin for transit variance, and what the destination can actually accommodate, not on the cheapest line on a rate sheet.
Exception Management
Bad weather, breakdowns, capacity shortages, and refused deliveries occur. What distinguishes a managed program is how early the exception is identified and who has authority to re-route, expedite, or hold. Within our programs, that contact is assigned before the first shipment departs.
Insight You Can Rely On
Tracking codes tell you where a truck is. Ongoing reporting shows you whether your installation date is still achievable. We measure against the schedule, not just against the freight.

The Redman Freight Management Method
- Program onboarding. We capture origins, destinations, commodity profiles, value, and, most importantly, the dates each site can realistically receive.
- Mode and network design. We match the freight to the right modes and lanes, determine where consolidation or staging cuts cost or exposure, and set the service levels.
- Execution. Shipments are booked, tendered, and tracked, with our warehouses ready as a buffer whenever a schedule slips.
- Exception management. Issues are routed to a named owner with a suggested action, not simply reported.
- Reporting and reconciliation. You receive on-time performance, cost, claims, and exception reporting against the program, plus a consolidated invoice.
What Makes Redman Van & Storage Stand Out for Freight Management
- We can handle the schedule. Because we own warehouse space across our territory, a delayed site doesn't force a poor decision about where freight stays.
- And we can get it inside. Managed transportation in Riverton that ends at a dock is half a service. Our movers take the freight the rest of the way into the building.
- North American Van Lines network. Nationwide agent coverage, with the specialized equipment and trained crews that come with a van line rather than a brokerage.
- 135 years of freight, not a freight tech startup. Founded in 1891, we have hauled pretty much everything that moves and we have learned what breaks.

FAQs
In what ways is freight management distinct from using a freight broker?
A freight broker matches a load to a carrier and their involvement essentially ends there. Freight management is accountable for the outcome: matching the mode against the risk profile, booking to a window the destination can accept, watching the shipment, handling exceptions, and reporting on your schedule. We also operate warehouses and delivery crews, so we can address a problem rather than just flag it.
Do you handle international and cross-border shipments?
Yes. We manage air and ocean freight and cross-border shipping documentation, and as an agent of North American Van Lines we draw on an established international network for moves that go overseas.
Are you able to manage freight from vendors we've already contracted?
Yes, and this is common. We assume inbound coordination from your current vendors and carriers, take in their shipments into our facilities, and integrate them into a single sequenced program. Your vendor relationships do not have to change.
What happens if a delivery date changes after freight is in transit?
The shipment is rerouted to the nearest Redman facility, checked in and inspected, and held until the revised date. Because storage and delivery are already built into the agreement, a schedule change becomes a re-sequencing decision rather than an emergency and a surprise invoice.
