  • > Due to many road closures, Trucks and many other vehicles have to take different and usually longer routes, causing the return of vehicles back to the depot to be delayed hence we highly recommend customer book their pickups earlier, especially larger volumes of freight to help trucks return on schedule back to the depot to ensure it meets linehaul connection.
  • > Deliveries into Central Coast will be impacted throughout this week. Our agents in the central coast are experiencing power outages and access issues in and around the central coast area. please note freight may not be possible to be delivered until it is safe to do so.
  • >In order to minimize water damage to freight, we recommend all customers ensure they wrap their pallets from top to bottom to minimize water going into pallets.
