Delivery & Transportation
Managing the coordination and timely delivery of four seasons of annuals, accents and winter greenery is expertly handled by our Transportation & Delivery Team, out of our Northbrook, Il facility, and under the leadership of Troy Clesen (R), the fourth generation in our family-owned business.
At Clesen Wholesale we are fortunate to manage a Transportation Team with 5x the average tenure of professional truck drivers, including three drivers who have been with Clesen for over 15 years! Our drivers know our customers & their delivery preferences, and our customers know them.
LIVE PLANT DISTRIBUTION AREA:
We deliver to the city of Chicago, south, west & northern suburbs, west to Rockford, IL area, and north to Madison & Milwaukee, WI markets. With these defined delivery zones, we can ensure that our live plants are delivered within one business day.
NON-PERISHABLE DISTRIBUTION AREAS:
For non-perishable deliveries, including Seasonal Accents and our extensive Winter greenery and accents we use third party carriers and offer delivery to the lower 48 states dependent upon meeting order size minimums.
With three growing locations, our customer orders are efficiently consolidated at our Northbrook facility and loaded onto a diverse assortment of fleet vehicles, from semis and box trucks to vans and even Sprinters – choosing the optimal vehicle to accommodate the size of customer orders and delivery locations.
Clesen Wholesale utilizes route optimization software to ensure timely deliveries to our customers. Additionally, all our fleet vehicles are subject to daily inspection of brakes, steering mechanism, lights, tires, horn, wipers, mirrors, and emergency equipment.
