FAQ

Common Questions Answered

Can you handle fluctuating storage volumes?

Yes. Our flexible warehousing model lets you increase or decrease storage space based on production cycles, supplier timelines, and demand changes. You're not locked into fixed space commitments — you pay for what you use.

How does your location benefit raw material supply chains?

Our Atlanta-area warehouses sit at the intersection of major interstate highways, rail hubs, and the Port of Savannah — one of the fastest-growing ports in the U.S. This gives manufacturers efficient access to both domestic and international raw material sources.

Do you offer repackaging, palletization, or kitting services?

We do. Our value-added services include repackaging, palletization, kitting, and bulk-to-bag conversions. Whether you need raw materials broken down into smaller quantities or consolidated for production, we handle it in-house.

Can you support just-in-time delivery to keep our production lines running?

Yes. We understand that production downtime from material unavailability is extremely costly. Our real-time inventory management system and coordinated inbound/outbound logistics ensure your materials arrive on schedule to support continuous production.

How do you ensure raw material integrity during storage?

We maintain organized, clean, GMP/SCF-compliant warehouse environments with proper storage conditions for a wide range of materials. Whether your inventory is temperature-sensitive, moisture-sensitive, or requires segregation, we implement the right protocols to prevent contamination and degradation.

FAQ

Common Questions Answered

How do I get a warehousing quote?

Share your pallet count, SKU count, expected throughput, and any special handling needs (GMP, FBA, kitting). Call (404) 647-6545 or email contact@lakeparklogistics.com for pricing.

What is the difference between cross-docking and warehousing?

Cross-docking moves freight from inbound to outbound trucks with minimal or no storage time, while warehousing holds inventory until it's needed. We offer both - useful when clients mix fast-moving SKUs with longer-tail storage.

Can you receive containers directly from the Port of Savannah?

Yes. We handle drayage from the Ports of Savannah and Charleston into our Conyers and Decatur warehouses, with transloading and cross-docking available on arrival.

What security measures protect stored inventory?

Our facilities feature high-tech security systems, monitored access, and a fenced truck court. Inventory is tracked in real time through our warehouse management system.

Yes. We handle Amazon FBA prep including labeling, polybagging, bundling, kitting, and inbound shipment preparation from our Atlanta-area warehouses.

Are your warehouses GMP-certified for food storage?

Yes. Our facilities are GMP Food Storage Certified and SCF compliant, suitable for food-grade, ingredient, and consumer-product clients.

Do you offer short-term and long-term storage?

How do I request a freight quote?

Call (404) 647-6545 or email contact@lakeparklogistics.com with origin, destination, commodity, weight, and equipment type. Quotes are typically returned within the same business day.

Do you handle drayage from the Port of Savannah?

Yes. Drayage and container transload from the Port of Savannah (and Port of Charleston) into our Conyers or Decatur warehouses is a core lane for our brokerage and 3PL operations.

How quickly can you cover a load?

Most lanes out of Atlanta and the Southeast can be covered same-day or next-day. Expedited and specialized freight is quoted on request - call (404) 647-6545 for live capacity.

How are your carriers vetted?

Every carrier in our network is pre-qualified for active operating authority, current insurance, safety scores, and performance history. We also leverage Ascend TMS and SmartWay-partner standards to maintain quality and compliance.

Do you broker freight outside of Georgia?

Yes. While our headquarters and warehouses are in metro Atlanta (Decatur and Conyers, GA), our carrier network is nationwide, with regional density across the Southeast including Savannah, GA and Charleston, SC.

What types of freight does Lake Park Logistics broker?

We broker full truckload (FTL), less-than-truckload (LTL), drayage and container moves out of the Port of Savannah and Port of Charleston, refrigerated (reefer), flatbed, and dry-bulk tanker freight, with nationwide coverage from our Atlanta base.

What is the difference between a freight broker and a 3PL?

A freight broker arranges transportation; a 3PL manages broader supply chain functions including warehousing, fulfillment, and inventory. Lake Park Logistics offers both - letting clients use brokerage as a standalone service or as part of a fully managed 3PL program.

What does a freight broker do?

A freight broker connects shippers with vetted motor carriers to move loads without operating trucks themselves. Lake Park Logistics acts as the intermediary - sourcing capacity, negotiating rates, dispatching FTL, LTL, drayage, reefer, flatbed, and dry-bulk freight, and providing real-time tracking from pickup through delivery.

How do I switch 3PL providers to Lake Park Logistics?

Onboarding starts with a scoping call to confirm volume, SKUs, service requirements, and integration needs. Most clients are fully transitioned within 2-4 weeks. Call (404) 647-6545 to start a scoping conversation.

Are you GMP-certified?

Yes. Lake Park Logistics is GMP Food Storage Certified and SCF compliant, making us a viable 3PL partner for food-grade, hygiene, and consumer-product clients with regulated handling requirements.

How does pricing work with a 3PL?

3PL pricing typically combines storage (per pallet, square foot, or SKU), handling (inbound/outbound), value-add services (kitting, labeling, FBA prep), and freight. We quote based on volume, SKU count, throughput, and service mix - contact us for a tailored proposal.

What industries do you serve?

We support raw materials, manufacturing, retail, telecommunications, hospitality, utilities, energy, construction, chemicals, technology, dry bulk, hygiene and consumer products, and plastics - with GMP-certified handling for food-grade storage.

Our 3PL services include warehousing, freight brokerage, transportation management, drayage, cross-docking, kitting, transloading, packaging, shrink wrapping, shipping and receiving, returns processing, inventory management, and Amazon FBA prep.

What is a 3PL?
