Today marks 25 years since September 11, 2001.

For the ITF Group team, remembrance meant showing up and doing something for others.
We joined volunteers at a 9/11 Day Meal Pack event to prepare meals for people facing food insecurity, organized by . These events are part of the National Day of Service and Remembrance, a movement created to honor those who were lost, the first responders who stepped forward, and the remarkable spirit of unity that followed.

Packing meals may seem like a simple act, but every box represents support reaching a family that needs it. Working together also reminded us that community is built through the time, care, and effort people are willing to give.

We are grateful to have taken part and proud of our team for turning remembrance into meaningful service.

Walmart holds suppliers to a 98 percent on-time, in-full standard, and the average supplier loses 5.8 percent of invoice value to deductions. Those numbers hurt, but they are only half the story.

The chargeback is the penalty you can see. The one you cannot see is the scorecard. A weak quarter makes the buyer cautious, and a cautious buyer quietly trims your next allocation, shrinking revenue in a way that never appears on a deduction report. And these programs penalize early shipments just like late ones, whether or not the cause was in your control.

Our latest blog explains why freight decisions are now revenue decisions, and why preventing the miss matters far more than disputing it after the fact.

Cargo theft losses reached an estimated $725 million in 2025, up 60 percent in a single year, and electronics were the most stolen commodity. The bigger shift is in how it happens.

Most theft is no longer about breaking in. It is fraud: fake credentials and fictitious pickups that get a load released to the wrong driver, with the real carrier showing up hours later. The average shipment lost is worth $273,990, and once freight is gone it usually stays gone. The recovery failure rate is 74 percent.

Our latest blog breaks down why electronics lanes are the target, how theft follows a predictable schedule and map, and what layered, built-in protection actually looks like.

Peak season used to be one predictable spike. Consumer electronics replaced it with something harder: launch windows all year long, each tied to a public date that cannot move.

The problem is that reactive freight fails exactly when the date is fixed. Source late and rates climb, service slips, and custody control degrades right when you can least afford it. One missed window turns into lost launch sales and a tougher conversation at the next allocation.

Our latest blog breaks down how the shippers who protect their launch windows build freight structure months ahead, and why capacity and custody control have to scale together.

Innovation starts here. Trust stays here. Focus never leaves — ITF Group moves businesses forward with integrated trucking, 3PL and warehousing to solve supply-chain challenges.

A consumer electronics launch can fail before the product reaches the shelf.

When premium devices move through national retail channels, the shipment is tied to preorder demand, promotional placement, buyer confidence, and revenue timing. A missed window does not stay inside logistics.
Launch lane structure before the release date. custody control for serialized, high-value inventory. Cost discipline through fewer recovery moves.

ITF Group's integrated logistics model gives consumer tech shippers control across complexity. Review the consumer electronics ex*****on brief.

Coastal warehouses charge coastal prices. Your inventory doesn't care about the view.

ITF Warehouse delivers competitive Missouri market rates without the premium pricing you'll find near the ports. And we priced our St. Louis warehousing differently: you pay actual labor and space plus a fixed management fee. No cost-plus markups. No mystery line items.

Accuracy is built into the operation too:
- Automated 3D measurement captures exact dimensions for precise billing, ending LTL disputes before they start
- Direct UPS and USPS partnerships pass competitive shipping rates through to you
- Real-time reporting through Deposco WMS, so you always know what you're paying for

High-quality warehousing and fulfillment at rates coastal 3PLs can't touch.

That's what Missouri warehousing should cost: https://hubs.li/Q04pm6Gp0

Cargo thieves aren't working harder. They're working smarter.

U.S. cargo theft losses hit an estimated $725 million in 2025, up 60% year over year, and the average stolen shipment is now worth $273,990. Criminal groups are passing on opportunistic grabs and targeting fewer, higher-value loads: electronics, pharmaceuticals, luxury goods.

The most alarming part? A lot of it happens without anyone touching a trailer. Deceptive pickup schemes, where criminals pose as legitimate carriers, jumped 31% in Q1 alone.

That's why we build security into every handoff, not bolt it on after the fact:
🔒 2,000+ drop trailers with dual visible-and-hidden GPS, cargo sensors, and real-time door alerts
🔒 Verified carrier onboarding before a load is ever offered
🔒 High-value freight kept off public load boards and inside our vetted carrier network
🔒 Geofenced pickups and deliveries with time-stamped custody logs at every transfer
🔒 Armed escorts, covert routing, and 24/7 monitoring for sensitive loads

"Our job is to close those gaps before a shipment is tendered, not after something goes missing." – Sam Burkhan, CEO

Why do smart brands choose Missouri warehousing?

Simple geography. From ITF Warehouse in Hazelwood, standard ground shipping reaches 80% of the U.S. population in 2 business days. No coastal warehouse can say that.

We sit at the crossroads of major U.S. freight corridors, with direct interstate access and close proximity to major airports and rail hubs. Ideal for east-west and north-south distribution alike.

What that means for your business:
- Faster delivery promises without paying for expedited shipping
- One central St. Louis warehousing location instead of splitting inventory across multiple regional facilities
- Lower outbound freight costs on nearly every lane

The middle of the map is the smartest spot in your supply chain.
