Formed in 1992, GARDEN STATE CONSOLIDATING operates as an I.C.C. licensed broker and contract carrier, providing nationwide assembly and distribution to the Wines and Spirits Industry. A “boutique carrier”, we only represent Importers and Distributors of Wines and Spirits.
We are essentially an exercise in efficiency and economy, utilizing “state of the art” equipment, such as the IBM AS400 main frame computer and custom designed technology. A good example is our computer generated daily status report that greets each of our customers when they arrive in the morning via e-mail or anytime via web access (through the Customer Login link on this page). Our customer pre-alert load manifest-confirmation of consolidation departure is also delivered daily via e-mail.
Our distribution facility is based in Kearny, NJ and our executive offices are in Edgemont, PA. Our warehouse and yard facilities are fully secured, video monitored, and under 24 hour surveillance.
We maintain all the proper insurance including full cargo liability and utilize only highly qualified and experienced drivers that meet our strict employment standards. We are in full compliance with state and local licensing requirements. Sixteen Company owned and operated tractor trailer combinations are dispatched daily, to insure timely pick up service.
For our customers, we provide:
- 1. Logging of all purchase orders by importer, origination warehouse and required ship dates into our computer database.
- 2. Monitor ship dates and provide daily status reports.
- 3. Pre-alert consolidations with shipping manifest.
