Freight Unloaders – Lumping Service
A lumper is a subset of Warehouse Labor Services. Knick-named “lumper” the worker is often a third-party laborer who works unloading cargo goods from shipping containers. Because goods are often floor stacked to maximize cube, each box must be identified by SKU, sorted, and placed on a pallet. Lumpers are used primarily for food or grocery goods, but occasionally in other areas of trucking as well.
A lumper fee is charged to the carrier when a company uses third-party workers to help unload the container contents. Lumpers are often used at food warehousing companies and grocery distributors. These fees are often reimbursable to the driver by the shipper or the freight broker.
Lean Inc., through a partnership with CDS provides third-party freight unloading services. For freight unloading prices click here. Lumper pricing is based on the number of SKUs needed to be sorted and the number of cases per shipping container.

On-Site Pallet Repair Service
On-site pallet repair service makes good sense when a company plans to reuse pallets over a long period of time, maintain them, and get the full life out of a pallet. The alternative is to constantly buy pallet repaired by others.
Pallets are durable, reusable warehouse essentials that deserve some care and attention. Lean Inc. in partnership with CDS provides on-site pallet repair service so that your company can focus on the important business at hand.
Also available is our pallet rack repair service. Instead of replacing pallet rack, we repair the damaged rack to a stronger and more durable condition than before the racking was damaged.
Delivery Assistant Labor Services
Sometimes, deliver drivers are called upon to move heavy or awkward shaped products. Lean Inc. provides delivery driver helpers to ride along side the delivery driver and assist with the delivery of heavy and bulky items.
We provide labor to help deliver packages from the delivery vehicle to your customer’s doorstep. Your company may need a delivery helper associate to be responsible for assisting with the delivery of merchandise to customer homes. Merchandise might include home appliances, mattresses, furniture, lawn & garden, and fitness equipment.
Delivery assistants work on a two-person team to help with the timely and safe delivery of goods by using team lifting and/or material handling equipment. CDS delivery assistants provide attention to detail so that the risk of damage nearly eliminated. Additionally, a delivery assistant will assist in properly loading and protecting product scheduled for delivery. You can count on CDS driver assistants to follow all prescribed safety procedures at all times to protect associates, customers, merchandise, and property.
