By Home Furnishings Business in Furniture Retailing on August 2006 Less-than-truckload home furnishings transport specialist MGM Transport Corp. has added LTL services from Mississippi to Southern California and the Northeast.

“We are really excited about this recent expansion of our national coverage,” said Mike Caldiero, vice president of sales and marketing for MGM. “It represents our commitment to serving our customers across the country. By adding the Mississippi region, MGM now offers one of the widest pick-up ranges of any specialized furniture carrier.”

The addition of this new service area follows MGM’s recent expansion of direct pick-up services in the Midwest (from Indiana, Illinois and Michigan to Southern California and the Northeast); and the addition of a larger distribution center and warehouse in Southern California in Pico Rivera.

Caldiero said the addition of service from Mississippi was in direct response to customer requests.

In addition to broad national coverage, MGM Transport also offers weekly dedicated service from many locations, with the goal of giving customers faster transit times with less handling and less risk of damage. MGM utilizes technology such as bar coding, real-time online tracking, online proof of delivery and image retrieval, while offering its customers full EDI capabilities and single point of contact customer care.
