A couple of suggestions to fight freight rates. . .
Freight discounts:
The current competitive environment enables us to secure
very favorable freight discounts. In spite of diminished
manufacturing industry in Central New York, freight carriers
still need to maximize use of truck space following their
deliveries to our locale.
We offer our expertise with trucking services to leverage
competitive freight rates and quality transportation
services with reputable carriers for our customers. We
always strive to find the most economical way of shipping.
You may have us pre-pay and add the most cost-effective
means available, or designate a truck line for shipments, if
you prefer.
Advantages:
• Can significantly reduce freight cost
• Frees you from obtaining multiple freight quotes
• We deal with most freight issues for you
What about damaged freight?
Truck lines are becoming more and more restrictive with
freight claims. Following some simple procedures can help
dramatically.
Receiving dock procedures:
A few simple steps will avert many problems, and
minimize the expenses, delays and hassles if complications
do arise.
• Check for visible damage. If you choose to accept
damaged freight, always sign noting the damage on
the dock receipt.
• Document the damage and have the truck driver sign. We
recommend keeping a digital camera at your receiving dock
for this purpose.
• Open packages expeditiously to check the condition of
the goods. There is a 24 hour window to notify the
carrier
of any concealed damage.
• Immediately report all damage to the truck line, and
then
contact your supplier for assistance with your
freight claim.
• Morse Manufacturing will not be held responsible for
any damaged freight that is not signed for as
damaged.
If delivery will be to a residential address, it is
imperative that you so specify at the time you place an
order. Delivery to non-business addresses without a loading
dock result in additional freight charges. Residential
delivery fees, inside delivery fees, re-delivery charges,
and lift gate services will be added by the truck line, and
are nonnegotiable.
If we can help with freight issues. . . please give us a
call.
