Some of you may be familiar with Central Transport. Central Transport is a very inexpensive consolidator which we have used in the past. Millennium Shipping has chosen to voluntarily block them as an option. While their rates are cheap, it is our experience of long transit times and unsatisfactory claim resolutions.
However, if a client requests to use them, we will honor that request. Sometimes it makes sense if a shipment is not time sensitive and the commodity not susceptible to damage.
Beginning next month, Central Transport will be rolling out a new FAK available to all Globaltranz customers. This is yet another move to lower their costs. The FAK will cover all freight under specific classes. As this new tariff becomes available, we will leave Central Transport blocked, so please let us know if you would like to use them as an option.
We want to reiterate again that this carrier is well known within the industry to have frequent and heavy delays in transit times. They are also well known for damaging freight and poor customer service.
