3PL Services That Power the Energy Industry
Right-sized solutions, in-depth expertise and high-touch service built to fuel your energy operations.
Managing logistics in the energy sector comes with its own set of complex challenges, from navigating remote locations to handling sensitive equipment. We understand the intricacies that can disrupt your supply chain and hinder productivity. With deep industry expertise, Legacy provides tailored, reliable logistics solutions to keep your operations running smoothly, no matter what hurdles you face.
-
Specialized equipment needs limit your carrier pool.
From oversized loads to fragile or hazardous materials such as lithium ion, the equipment handling needs of energy companies are anything but straightforward. You need carriers with the appropriate hazmat certifications, specialized equipment and overweight permits, which can make it hard to find the right fit. Legacy’s extensive carrier network ensures you have access to qualified carriers with the niche expertise and resources to transport even the most challenging loads safely and efficiently.
-
High-value assets demand specialized insurance.
When you’re moving expensive, mission-critical equipment, standard insurance won’t cut it. You need specialized coverage such as stock throughput or marine policies to protect your assets at every stage, from transit to warehousing. Accidents can happen and, without the right insurance, they can be costly. Legacy ensures you’re fully protected ,— on your end, our end and with every carrier we use — , so your high-value shipments are always in safe hands.
- Complex compliance requirements can grind operations to a halt.
Hazmat certifications, overweight permits and securing pilot cars for over-dimensional loads — logistics for energy companies comes with a long list of regulatory requirements. Miss a step, and you could face impounded vehicles, delayed shipments and costly fines. Legacy’s thoroughly vetted carrier pool has the necessary certifications, permits and tanker endorsements, and we provide proof up front, so you can rest easy knowing your shipments are fully compliant. - Remote locations make the final mile a serious challenge.
Getting shipments to and from remote extraction sites isn’t as simple as following GPS. Dirt roads, unpredictable terrain and strict safety requirements add layers of complexity. Legacy ensures carriers are fully briefed on routes and job site expectations and that drivers arrive in the appropriate attire — including steel-toed boots, high-vis vests and hardhats — so your deliveries arrive safely and on schedule, no matter how far off the beaten path.
- Miss a project deadline, and you could miss out on tax credits.
Energy projects run on tight schedules, especially when tax credits are on the line. With equipment coming in from overseas with years-long lead times, careful planning is crucial. We offer dedicated warehousing to store your equipment until you’re ready to deploy and handle every step of the process, from international transport and customs brokering to final-mile delivery and deployment, enabling you to hit every deadline without breaking a sweat.
With equipment coming in from overseas and long lead times, careful planning is a must. - Lack of visibility leaves you in the dark.
Without clear insight into your inventory and shipments, making informed decisions becomes a guessing game. Legacy changes that with integrated warehouse management, transportation management and real-time tracking systems that offer total visibility across your supply chain. We deliver data in any format you need, giving you the power to forecast more accurately and make smarter, data-driven decisions.
