Direct Truckload Program Overview
Harvest Time’s Direct Truckload Program supports established 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations across the United States by making full and partial truckloads of donated goods available through our corporate donor network. There is no cost to apply and no membership fee, monthly dues, or subscription required. Most truckloads have an administrative fee, and if transportation is needed, Harvest Time can coordinate freight and provide a quote for approval before the load is scheduled.
This program is designed for organizations with the facilities, equipment, staffing, and distribution capacity to receive, manage, and responsibly distribute truckload quantities of donated product.
Please review the requirements below before applying.
