What's New at Reddaway

"Remote" possibilities!

Hawaii may be the most isolated population center on the face of the earth, but you can count on Reddaway to deliver "remote" possibilities with our new door-to-door Hawaii service.

With a single point of contact and single invoice that includes pickup at origin, drayage to the Port of Long Beach, trans-ocean transportation, final delivery and everything in between, we're pretty sure you'll be saying, "Aloha, Reddaway!"

Our Hawaii service features twice-weekly sailings from Long Beach and coverage of more than 98 percent of the Hawaiian population. You get the flexibility of a freight forwarder with the reliability of Reddaway!

You also get shipment tracking through  reddawayregional.com. Just call our Customer Care Group at 1-888-420-8960.

Reddaway makes shipping goods to Hawaii as stress-free as a remote island getaway.

Honored for safely serving customers!

From the twists and turns of the Rockies to the congestion of West Coast cities, Reddaway drivers travel some of the most dangerous highways in the nation.

That's why we are particularly pleased when we receive recognition for our safe driving.

Recently, two different state trucking associations honored Reddaway with their 2009 highway safety awards.

The California Trucking Association (CTA) presented Reddaway a third-place award in the LTL Short-Haul, Over Four-Million Miles category at its Fleet Safety Awards Banquet on April 7.

On March 26, the Colorado Motor Carriers Association awarded Reddaway third place in the "Fleet Safety for LTL Carriers Over Three-Million Miles" category.

At Reddaway, we take highway safety seriously. It is integral to our customer service, helping ensure our people and your shipments arrive on time and in good shape at shipping docks. It's also the right thing to do as we share the roads with the driving public.

We are extremely proud of our professional drivers in California, Colorado and throughout our Western-states geographic footprint. As our president, T.J. O'Connor, says, "Ensuring that we're working and driving safely is the foundation by which we deliver confidence to one another and our customers every day."

Spring ka-ching!

After this cold, long winter, your retail customers are eager for the sweet sound of cash registers ringing up sales of home and garden supplies. 

But before your products ever make it off the truck, let alone into customers' shopping carts, many "big box" home and garden centers are requiring Must Arrive by Date (MABD) window deliveries.

MABD window deliveries demand precision from your transportation provider.

The Reddaway multiday window service delivers precisely that. Shipments arrive right on time, not early or late.

Our multiday window service is the only one of its kind to use technology to ensure deliveries are made when you need them. Our service handles delivery windows as precise as one hour on a specific day, or on multiple days.

For on-time service, damage-free shipping that keeps you compliant with your customers' delivery requirements and helps you better manage your scorecard, choose Reddaway. 

To learn more about our window delivery service, contact your Reddaway account manager or go online to get started today.
