Testimonials

Here’s what a few of our clients have to say!

“I highly recommend that you engage LoVanté to analyze and set the course for reducing your distribution and transportation expenses. I have used the LoVanté group while leading two different companies and have had tremendous results. Candidly, at first I was skeptical as I had been in the business for many years and felt I had a fairly good handle on transportation line items like leases, taxes, etc. I was surprised to find that we had so many cost reducing opportunities and refunds do us for previous years as well. Mark Russell and his team are extremely professional; they know where to find the savings and how to produce them for you. DOLLARS in the bank, not just conceptual savings!!

When I'm running my next company, I assure you one of my first calls will be to LoVanté and I suggest you do the same. You will be glad you did!”

“We are experts in the produce business, not the trucking business. LoVanté is our trucking expert that allows us to spend our time focusing on serving the produce customer to the best of our ability.”

— Mr. Gregory P. Corsaro, Chief Financial Officer of Piazza Produce in Indianapolis, Indiana

“Mattress Giant operates ten distribution centers in support of their 250+ retail locations. Prior to engaging LoVanté to review our operations Mattress Giant utilized six full service leasing companies. After extensive review and negotiations LoVanté reduced our fleet size by thirty percent and decreased our lease expense by forty percent. The master lease agreement was modified to our benefit. We now have a new fleet of properly specified trucks, decaled to represent our new advertising campaign, and delivering product in a more fuel efficient and professional manner. LoVanté representatives exhibited true professionalism in dealing with our long time suppliers and I would strongly recommend them to any company that operates a private fleet.”

— Barrie Brown, President & CEO of Mattress Giant Corp. in Dallas, Texas

“What I liked most about your services was that you worked for me and not for the leasing company...from contract modifications and vehicle specifications to actual vehicle pick-up, you were there every step of the way. Your services saved us a substantial amount of management time, numerous meetings with sales reps, and a great deal of money on our entire lease package.”

— Brian Mitchell, General Manager of Rainbow Air in Cincinnati, Ohio

“I had never been interested in using a consultant before, because I felt that I would be charged a lot of money and not see any tangible results. Using Lovanté, however, turned out to be one of the smartest business decisions I have ever made. Their team of professionals helped us put a new better equipped fleet of trucks on the road for less money than we were paying for older ones. They also were able to make changes to our lease contracts that I had never thought of before and helped us reduce our overall transportation cost significantly. I am very impressed!”

— Greg Rowe, President of Five Star Produce Company in Austin, Texas
