Stop Delays Before They Start.

Tired of bottlenecks at the dock? Our inbound logistics solutions combine expert lumpers, fast unloading, and efficient container handling to keep freight moving and schedules on track.

What’s the difference between a lumper and unloading?

A lumper is a trained warehouse worker responsible for unloading freight at distribution centers. While “unloading” refers to the task, “lumper” refers to the person doing it—typically from a third-party provider like Capstone. Lumpers bring consistency, safety, and speed, especially during high-volume periods.

How do you ensure safety during unloading?

We follow OSHA best practices and conduct regular safety audits at every site. Our teams are trained in safe lifting techniques, clear dock procedures, and hazard awareness to protect themselves and your freight.

"They’ve helped us reduce dwell time and improve overall dock flow. Capstone integrates
well with our internal systems and expectations."
