What's New at New Penn

New Penn strong

During our 79 year history, we've weathered some pretty rough economic times. Thanks to our loyal customers, we overcame challenges and grew stronger.

The same is true today.

While the recession had an effect on the balance sheet of parent company, YRC Worldwide, the success of the debt-for-equity exchange was a key step toward restoring financial strength. Now, with the distractions behind us, we're moving forward, focused on delivering confidence to you every day, with every shipment.

Thank you for continuing to ship with New Penn during the YRCW financial restructuring.

We value your loyalty and remain committed to delivering industry-leading, on-time, claim-free, and valued-added service.

That's the strength of New Penn today and in the future.

How we've grown!

Beginning in Lebanon, Pa., the New Penn footprint has grown substantially during our 79-year history.

Today, New Penn is the trusted transportation resource with direct service throughout the Northeastern United States and Eastern Canada with convenient access to Puerto Rico.

We pioneered next-day service in the Northeast. Next-day deliveries account for 94 percent of our shipments.

With direct loading, step-saver dock planning and our line-haul planning system, usually we're able to make those deliveries early in the day.

Reaching to the north, our direct coverage includes Quebec and Ontario.

Our reputation for fast customs clearance and immediate access to your goods for delivery in Canada supports even tisme-strained supply chains with confidence.

In addition, our value-added service into the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) gives you guaranteed next-day delivery to Toronto, Ajax, Pickering, Markham, Richmond Hill, Brampton, Mississauga, Oakville, Milton, and Burlington, as well as Hamilton and Guelph.

We also provide smooth sailing to Puerto Rico as the largest consolidator of less-than-containerload shipments from the Port of New York/New Jersey to Puerto Rico.

Our regional expertise ensures next-day service from Northeast points to the port, and port-to-door transit of two to three business days. And because it's a wholly integrated solution, you have real-time tracking for Northbound and Southbound shipments.

Is your supply chain ready for more winter weather?

While Punxsutawney Phil is preparing to make his prediction, New Penn is already prepared for more winter with its freeze-protection service.

For cold-sensitive products, New Penn offers freeze-protection service on next-day shipments destined to direct points, including direct points in Ontario and Quebec. We make freezable-shipment pickups Monday through Thursday.

When booking, simply identify the freezable product and its destination. Then, write Protect from Freezing on the bill of lading.

We'll take it from there.

New Penn has well-defined procedures and equipment to ensure protection of your freezables, including technically-engineered and environmentally-friendly CargoQuilt^® covers.

The result?

We've not had a claim because of freezing in more than two years!
