Enhancement to BAX Global’s Services in North America
New alternative for freight between Newark and Toronto
News Item Entered: Friday, July 13, 2007
(Irvine, Calif., 12 July 2007) Business shippers now have an alternative to overnight air freight between Newark, New Jersey and Toronto, Canada. Direct next day ground service by BAX Global and Schenker, offers an enhanced delivery time for the BAXSaverŠ product between these two areas, enabling shippers to send any size or weight shipments for less. Companies now have a reliable, one-day service that’s more economical than shipping by air.
Integrating around the globe, BAX Global and Schenker’s combined resources are providing increased benefits for customers, including new routes, shorter delivery times and competitive pricing.
“Our strength of the existing ground freight department, working with BAX, will get shipments into Toronto and the Canadian market one day earlier,” commented Scott Cairncross, vice president and National Product manager-Ground, for Schenker of Canada Ltd.
Prior to this new service, customers in the Newark area needing next day delivery to Toronto, sent their shipments via overnight air, which is more costly than ground service.
“By integrating the capabilities of Schenker of Canada we were able to enhance BAX’s services to these areas. The new dedicated ground service is priced less than comparable overnight air shipments,” said John Bastiani, vice president, Service & Network Operations for the Eastern Division at BAX Global.
