Newspaper Insert, Magazine & Book Distribution
With
over 20 years experience, Nationwide is the expert in time-sensitive
print distribution. This unique service starts with shipment pickup
at various origin points on a scheduled basis, followed by inbound
transportation to one of our distribution centers. There, each
shipment is consolidated with shipments from other producers and
delivered on an optimally-sequenced route for “Just-in-Time”
deliveries.
We excel in:
• Long-haul transportation from printing
plants to break-bulk facilities
• Break-up, sort and consolidation of shipments into retail
bundles and shrink-wrapped pallets
• Delivery to wholesalers, distributors and retail outlets
in our equipment.
Bulk Mail Distribution
When
it comes to working with the USPS in the Southeastern U.S., there’s
no one better than Nationwide. By taking freight from the point
of production to the closest feasible USPS entry point for the
final destination, we provide a unique and invaluable service
to bulk mail producers.
In the case of USPS deliveries, shipments are consolidated
by destination at our service center. The consolidated shipments
are then distributed into BMC, SCF and DDU routes at our destination
terminal. A maximum of two cross-docking consolidation handlings
are allowed.
We have also implemented the USPS computerized
appointment system (DSAS) for scheduling shipment deliveries.
We offer:
• Break-up, sort and consolidation of shipments
by BMC
• Long-haul transportation from printing plants to all
USPS BMC & SCF facilities meeting drop-ship discount criteria
for Standard Classes A & B and Periodicals
• Delivery to USPS DDU facilities according to volume
• Regular daily or semi-weekly to all BMCs and SCFs in
the southeast
Truck Load Consolidation
Designed
for the large contract shipper, our Truck Load Delivery (or Load-to-Ride)
delivers freight directly from the point-of-origin to a single
or multiple destinations within the Southeast as well as nationally.
We also handle intermodal shipments out of Savannah, Charleston,
and Memphis.
There is consolidation or distribution down to the
SCF level-- Truck Load Delivery is made possible by a properly
route-sequenced shipment loaded at the origin. The shipper communicates
all necessary information to us via Electronic Data Interchange
(EDI), e-mail, or fax prior to production staging; we then send
sequencing advice to the producer for shipment control.
Nationwide Logistics Service
As a 3rd party provider, we are effectively an
agent for the freight producer. We mix the loads for maximum cost-savings
and warehouse shipments for a reasonable period of time at no
charge-- shipping the goods to arrive in-home at specified dates.
We can handle all inbound and outbound shipments,
including intermodal containers, for everything from raw material
sources to production plants, or finished printed matter to destination
points-of-entry for USPS delivery.
Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)
Our Logistics’ EDI program electronically
retrieves bills of lading, manifests, and other documents from
a mailer’s computer, (or VAN), and produces all necessary
documents for freight transportation and invoicing. Customers
can access our system to retrieve information on shipment status,
proof-of-delivery, rating, and billing. Customers can even send
messages to, and receive messages from, us.
