If time is a factor and you need a quick

freight estimate, the short form is for you!

Simply type in the origin and destination zip codes, class and

weight, as well as any supplementals such as residential, liftgate, call

before delivery, and you will have a rate in

socially responsible entity by reducing our carbon footprint.

We have had our E-Invoicing system in place for many years and in 2012 we will be working hard to get 95% of our clients set up

with E-Invoicing.

We look forward to working with your company so that we may Email our invoices to your accounts payable department or

whoever you designate. The goal of course is to minimize paper waste and also to help our clients improve their own internal

processing of invoices.

Less paper - E-Invoices moving through your logistics department for approval, onto A/P for payment and processing, and ultimately
