Efficient Transportation

At Wegmans, we prefer to arrange our incoming freight whenever it is logistically possible. If you are interested in becoming a carrier for Wegmans, please send an email request to [email protected]. You will receive an email response from Intesource with a contact name and number if you have any questions regarding the process. Intesource will compile the information that was requested and send to Wegmans.

Backhaul Loading Standards

Wegmans backhaul pickups are expected to have a weight limit of 42,000 pounds and are built using quality standards for axle weight distribution. If a load does not meet these requirements, Wegmans may choose to turn back the transportation of the freight to the vendor.

Delivery Appointment Scheduling

Please note that all Wegmans facilities require a scheduled appointment time. This procedure allows for efficient coordination of our receiving operations. Receiving appointments are required on all shipments regardless of shipment method used. Please see the Appointment Scheduling page for further details.

Efficient Store Replenishment

In the spirit of Efficient Store Replenishment, we prefer the use of Mods and Shippers whenever appropriate. Please call your merchant and buyer with any questions.
