Full Service “Store, Pick, Fill, and Ship”
Customers have told us that they appreciate Allied’s attractive "turnkey" capabilities: we can pick up a shipment and store it in our warehouse. “Less-than-truckload” quantities can be picked; a bill of lading, completed; and the product, delivered using our equipment or that of contract carriers serving our warehouses and distribution centers.
In some instances, we break bulk truckloads down into smaller package shipments; then make less-than-truckload deliveries to individual locations.
Packaging
Proper packaging ensures that shipments arrive in good condition, thereby, increasing margins by minimizing the possibility of loss, claims, and litigation. We can advise NMFC current packing methods and regulations.
We offer blending, screening and packaging services to chemical companies in West Virginia and the surrounding market areas
Allied Processing gives its customers, generally bulk chemical manufacturers, the ability to alter specific batches of products so that they meet varying customer specifications just in time.
Timely EDI
Allied’s customers have secure access to tracking information, including arrival status and customer invoicing.
Brokerage U.S.,Canada and Mexico
Our fully trained brokerage staff is second to none. The brokerage department specialiazes in moving that difficult to cover load while keeping our customer’s bottom line in mind.
Rates and Routings
Commodity descriptions determine rates and charges. To expedite shipping we prepare bills of lading and commodity descriptions to assure lowest possible costs and negotiate with carriers for the best rates. Shipping cost are determined in advance over the telephone.
Watching, Freight Bill Auditing & Payment
ICC, FAA, IATA, DOT, NMFC laws and regulations, rate changes, increases, etc., affecting your business are brought to your attention.
Carrier freight bills are audited for accuracy before payment. There is no delay in payment, and corrections are issued showing full tariff authority. All savings produced are 100 percent for the client. Preaudit programs can be customized to work in connection with all types of freight payment plans.
