Food Distributors International (FDI) and National Grocers Association (NGA) are partnering with AmeriQuest, the Cherry Hill NJ-based transportation and logistics company, to launch a new buying service that will save member companies that operate truck fleets millions of dollars in lower prices and new efficiencies. The new service, www.foodfleetxchange.com, opened for business Aug 1, 2001.
FoodFleetXchange allows grocery retailers and wholesalers and their suppliers to buy all major brands of tires, lubricants, batteries, brakes, engines, transmissions, tools, truck bodies, shop tools, and lift trucks at lower prices. This is achieved through the added volume represented by the fleets of the two associations in combination with existing AmeriQuest users.
