What's New at New Penn
Greater economies for your inbound transportation
Let New Penn add cost efficiencies to your supply chain with our consolidation services. We can pick up shipments all around the Northeast and consolidate them into one larger shipment. Your consolidated shipment is ready the next morning for your truckload provider or private fleet trailer.
With consolidated shipments, you also gain added predictability for your supply chain. That means you can more effectively plan materials and resources needed for production schedules.
New Penn is the largest consolidator of LCL shipments from the port of New York/New Jersey to Puerto Rico. When it comes to delivery to the ship at Port Elizabeth, our shipments are "last-on" and, therefore, "first-off" when they arrive in Puerto Rico.
Consolidation services are just one way we can help you find economies in your supply chain. To learn more, talk with your account manager or call 1-800-285-5000.

Service reliability protects your products and reputation
Oftentimes when we talk about New Penn reliability, we use our industry-leading on-time, damage-free deliveries as the yardstick.
For international shipments and those containing chemicals, pharmaceuticals and high-value products, reliability also means secure transportation. New Penn delivers regional expertise in that area, too.
Our comprehensive approach features five levels of security to ensure uninterrupted service.
- Personnel: Pre-employment background checks and random drug screenings, hazardous-material training and company-issued photo identification
- Facility: Fenced, gated and guarded service centers; security lighting; security cages available on request; closed-circuit surveillance at our New York City and New Jersey facilities
- Communications and systems: Company-owned backup data center, redundant data and telephone networks and backup generators at all facilities
- Over-the-road: Double-sealed trailers in service center-to-service center operations, locked trailers and tractors for pickups and deliveries and on-board computers for emergency, real-time communications
- International: Full certification in programs sponsored by U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency (FAST, C-TPAT, PIP, PARS and PAPS) and TSA-authorized security clearance for unescorted access to secure port areas
For secure, reliable shipping in the Northeast, call on the regional expertise of New Penn.
