How FHI Got Started

“There has to be a better way.”

That’s what Chuck Wall thought over 30 years ago when he set out to solve unloading challenges facing the grocery industry.

As a commerce veteran with 25 years of experience in the transportation and distribution of grocery merchandise, Chuck understood those challenges better than anyone.

He witnessed the inefficiency and expense created by the deregulation of trucking during the 1980s. He understood drivers’ reluctance to unload freight and envisioned a better way.

In 1991, Chuck Wall and his wife Jayne Beth “JB” pioneered the professional unloading industry by creating FHI (Freight Handlers, Inc.). With a reliable and professionally trained workforce, FHI quickly fulfilled Chuck’s vision by bringing new levels of productivity and transparency to carriers, vendors, and distribution centers.

Three decades later, the spirit of “finding a better way” continues to evolve at FHI, inspiring FHI’s current service offerings: FHI NOW™, FHI Distribution, and FHI Logistics. FHI remains committed to service that makes a memorable and measurable difference by contributing resources that make supply chains stronger.
