The Partnership
Precision Logistics for
Exceptional Millwork
For more than 40 years, White River has trusted ArcBest and their LTL carrier ABF Freight to ship high-end architectural millwork safely and on time. Our products demand an extraordinary level of care — from oversized, heavy crates to intricate, hand-carved custom pieces, every shipment is a precision exercise.
This long-standing partnership isn’t transactional — it’s a shared commitment to craftsmanship at every step of the supply chain. When our customers order a carved corbel or a run of specialty moulding, they’re trusting us with their project. We trust ArcBest with ours.
Why It Matters
Freight That Respects the Craft
Fragile by Nature
Hand-carved carvings, ornate mouldings, and delicate wood panels can’t survive rough handling. ABF Freight treats every pallet as though it holds a work of art — because it does.
Oversized & Heavy
Large architectural millwork ships in custom crates that demand specialized LTL handling. ArcBest has the equipment, expertise, and network to move them without incident.
On-Time, Every Time
Our customers — architects, designers, and builders — work to tight project timelines. A late shipment isn’t just an inconvenience; it can delay an entire installation.
Built on Trust
Forty years is not an accident. It is the result of consistent performance, honest communication, and a shared commitment to doing things the right way — year after year.
From the White River Team
ArcBest and ABF Freight understand that what we ship isn’t just wood — it’s someone’s vision for their home or project. That understanding is what’s kept this partnership going for four decades.
Ben Johnson
Director of Sales, White River Hardwoods
When you’re shipping custom architectural millwork, precision at every step isn’t a bonus — it’s the baseline. ArcBest has never let us down, and that means we’ve never let our customers down.
