Greetings,

We haven’t done a newsletter in a few months as we’ve been busy with travel and working on some new programs.  We are excited for this last quarter and hope you are too!  

After this newsletter, we will be focusing on our new system: Carrierrate 2.0.  This new on-line quoting system is by far the best in the industry.  No other company offers the unique helpful tools that ours does.  Todd and his staff are always here to assist you if you have any questions regarding the new system.

Adding Insurance
When shipping a valuable commodity, please consider adding additional insurance to cover the entire value of your freight.

 

Generally, carriers will cover only up to a certain amount of liability and the payouts will be considered in the $1-$4 per-lb rule. This means that if your freight weighs 200 lbs and this carrier pays out $2/lb, the maximum payout you will get for standard liability is $400, even if the freight is much more valuable than that. This quote screen
shows you where you can find the carrier’s maximum liability:

 

 

These liability limits are based on weight, not value. If you want to fully cover the value of the freight, you can click the blue “add insurance” button under the liability column, or add in the value on the quote screen:

 

By adding insurance, you will be provided with a rate that includes full coverage of the value. Meaning that if a claim is filed, the damage will be paid out in full by an outside insurance company.

About the Team
As many of you already know, Todd is very active in adult hockey leagues.  Two out of his four hockey teams (yes, he is on FOUR),just finished their season.  

Both teams made it into the playoffs and both came out victoriously.  Todd has been playing for the Bombers (top) for five years and have won a total of four championships.  The Blazers (bottom) was a challenging victory that came down to the last few seconds. During the second intermission, Todd rallied his team and motivated them to step up the intensity. They won with a final score of 6-5.

Contest
We know that sometimes it’s more than one person assisting in the shipping process and it’s hard to take an entire office out to lunch.  We thought we would bring lunch to the entire office!
This month’s newsletter contest will be a pizza lunch for your office.  The contest begins immediately following the receipt of this newsletter.  
 
Simply respond to this newsletter to automatically enter a chance to win.  Pizza will be delivered by Todd with drinks, cups, plates, and napkins.  Be sure to enter as I’m sure your co-workers will appreciate it.  Good luck!
We thank you for your time and, as always, appreciate any feedback you may have.  What would you like to read about?
Sincerely,

Millennium Shipping Team
