There’s a blind spot in pharmaceutical logistics, and it’s costing the industry more than you think.  

Airlines and freight forwarders have made substantial investments in GDP-compliant warehouses, cold storage, and certified ground handlers. But all too often, there’s one segment of the journey that remains uncontrolled, unmonitored, and unverified: the road transportation providers they hire for ground freight.  

That’s right. The biggest black hole in pharmaceutical freight compliance usually happens during over-the-road segments. This lack of transparency can lead to temperature excursions, chain-of-custody breaks, and compliance gaps. Yet many shippers never even see it.  

Why? Because too often, airlines and forwarders outsource road operations to the lowest bidder, regardless of whether that carrier understands GDP or has any formal accreditation.  

This is where Tucker Company Worldwide comes in. We’re not just a trucking company. We are a GDP-accredited, pharma-focused logistics provider that understands the risks hidden in road transportation, and we’re here to eliminate them.  

With 24/7/365 visibility, real-time temperature monitoring, and audited SOPs, Tucker ensures that every shipment moves under strict compliance protocols. Our carriers are trained in pharmaceutical handling. Their trailers are validated. Our operations are built to always keep you audit-ready.  

Shippers, it's time to demand more. Don't let your compliant air freight become non-compliant when it hits the road. Insist that your airlines and forwarders use Tucker for every road movement.  

When the weakest link is strengthened, the entire chain becomes resilient. The resilience of your supply chain begins when you bring Tucker on board.
