Warehouse on Wheels: The Smarter Way to Deliver Furniture Beyond 300 Miles

Victory Truck Body’s Warehouse on Wheels system helps furniture retailers expand their delivery reach beyond a 300-mile radius without adding new warehouses or overworking drivers. By using swap body trucks, preloaded bodies are line-hauled to distant markets and quickly transferred to straight trucks for final-mile delivery. This eliminates cross-docking, reduces costs, and boosts efficiency. Major retailers like Baer’s, Levin, Matter Brothers, and Ashley Furniture have proven the system’s success with faster deliveries, happier drivers, and smoother logistics. Warehouse on Wheels simplifies operations, improves team morale, and provides a scalable, cost-effective way to grow while keeping customers satisfied.

Furniture retailers often face a familiar challenge: reaching customers in remote markets without ballooning costs or burning out drivers. Traditional methods such as cross docks, long-haul drives, and complex logistics, are expensive and inefficient. Victory Truck Body’s “Warehouse on Wheels” changes the game.

What Is Warehouse on Wheels?

Imagine eliminating cross docks and overnight runs. With Warehouse on Wheels, swap body trucks are pre-loaded in route order at your distribution center. These bodies are line-hauled together to distant markets, then quickly transferred to straight trucks for final-mile delivery. Drivers start and end their day locally, making more stops with fewer headaches.

Why It Works

  • Expand Your Reach: Serve markets beyond a 300-mile radius without adding brick-and-mortar facilities.
  • Simplify Logistics: No more juggling cross docks or overnight stays.
  • Boost Driver Satisfaction: Drivers sleep at home, not in motels.

Customer Voices: Real Results from Leading Retailers

Baer’s Furniture

“Our drivers are able to get right in their trucks and head out directly to customers. It’s a great convenience for our customers to have the delivery teams arrive early.”
Ron Baer

Saved 5% in salaries, which was entirely overtime expense, after switching to Warehouse on Wheels.

Levin Furniture

 “A little over a decade ago, Levin Furniture first implemented the Warehouse on Wheels System to reduce brick and mortar expenditures in Ohio. The company closed an aging facility in Cleveland and replaced it by shuttling pre-loaded demountable truck bodies from an existing distribution center in Smithton, PA directly to retail stores throughout northwestern Ohio.” (Case Study Narrative)

Levin Furniture consolidated warehouses and increased productivity, attributed to lower overhead and faster delivery cycles.

Why Victory Truck Body Stands Out

When it comes to demountable delivery systems, Victory Truck Body is the only company in North America that designs and builds both demountable bodies and the chassis lift systems that make them work together seamlessly.

In a modern, technology-forward facility, Victory maintains total quality control. Bodies, base frames, and lifters are all built by us for faster turnaround and consistent quality. Born from Demountable Concepts, Victory brings 35+ years of innovation to every build.

The Bottom Line

Warehouse on Wheels is a competitive advantage in a tricky and zealous market. Retailers like Baer’s, Matter Brothers, and Ashley Furniture report:

  • Lower operating costs
  • Increased delivery efficiency
  • Happier teams and customers
