National Pickup Service Enhanced through Partnership with Con-way Freight
Since 1992, Tropical’s National Pickup Service has offered customers a single-source solution to transporting their Less than Container Load (LCL) cargo quickly and affordably to The Bahamas and the Caribbean. On April 2, 2007, Tropical began a joint marketing effort that joined Con-way Freight’s extensive North American network with the extensive Caribbean basin network of Tropical Shipping.
"We are always looking for new ways to meet the shipping needs of our customers, and this collaboration provides an excellent way to do just that," said Rick Murrell, President of Tropical Shipping. 'Working with Con-way Freight, we will continue to provide a superior customer experience, which has been the foundation of our service for more than 40 years."
Tropical's National Pickup Service -- available anywhere in the continental United States and the metropolitan areas of Toronto and Montreal, Canada -- allows Tropical customers to ship dry, commercial LCL cargo to any of our warehouse receiving locations with just one phone call and get door-to-port pricing and single invoice billing.
The joint marketing effort with Con-way Freight will enhance Tropical’s National Pickup service and provide customers with:
Faster Transit Times - access to more drivers through the Con-way network
Most importantly, customers gain peace of mind knowing that their shipments are being handled by leaders in land and sea delivery, enabling them to achieve greater simplicity, security, control, speed, reliability and visibility of their shipments to the Bahamas and the Caribbean.
"Con-way Freight and Tropical Shipping have recognized the significant need to help U.S. shippers to The Bahamas and the Caribbean manage conflicting land and sea schedules and move freight more efficiently and on time," said David. S. McClimon, President of Con-way Freight. "TropicalDirect puts and end to the frustration of dealing with multiple carriers, pricing structures and freight bills by delivering a more effective service through single-provider convenience."
Tropical Shipping, an industry leader in containerized cargo shipping, serves 33 ports in The Bahamas and the Caribbean. Con-way Transportation Services, Inc. provides an array of freight delivery services and supply chain solutions as a less-than-truckload (LTL) trucking company specializing in overnight freight.
