The Company: ARD is a logistics company that operates under the philosophy of CSP. Customer satisfaction is their number one concern, providing a safe, clean environment for employees while driving profits through effective process mapping. Their Alabama facility is a full service facility with 120,000 sq feet of warehouse, 10,000 sq feet of offices and 18 dock doors.
