Hogan’s 23-Year Partnership with Dollar General

The Challenge: As one of the nation’s largest retailers, Dollar General continues to expand its store network and product offerings, with a growing focus on fresh food and beverages. Given its diverse inventory and relatively small store footprints, consistent weekly deliveries are essential to keeping shelves stocked.

Their unique containerization system requires drivers to manually unload trailers via liftgates and deliver products directly to store backrooms—often unassisted. Managing these complex, high-touch deliveries while maintaining efficiency and on-time shipments is a challenging driver job.

To streamline operations and support its growing network, Dollar General consolidated its network from 6 carriers down to just 3 strategic providers. They needed a trusted partner with the expertise to handle their complex delivery process while ensuring efficient product movement across their vast retail footprint.

The Solution: Hogan leveraged our Dedicated Trucking Services, Capacity Solutions and Fleet Maintenance expertise to provide Dollar General with the vehicles, drivers and logistical support they needed to meet their demands.

For 23 years, we’ve been a trusted partner, consistently delivering reliable transportation solutions to support their operations.

“After consolidating our logistics providers, continuing our partnership with Hogan was an easy decision,” says Mark Taylor, Vice President Transportation Outbound at Dollar General. “They’ve consistently delivered on their promise to handle our time-sensitive shipments with precision. Hogan’s flexibility, efficiency and reliability have made them an essential part of our operations.”
