New Penn | New Penn-Wilson interline ending..

Our relationship with Wilson didn't end. They are still receiving all of our outbound freight. They will also continue to handle some inbound freight for us as well. The stipulation for this being that the customer calls us and we then pass the information along to Wilson ourselves. They are currently routing all inbound freight through Newington, VA. It is my understanding that we weren't receiving that much inbound freight from them to begin with since we began using Holland in their service area.

And from Newington it comes to Balt. #10 to be sorted. The amount of freight has dropped off considerably since the divorce announcement. It was like a trailer load, maybe 20 - 25 bills a day. Now it's just a few bills with no volume to be handled.
 
Just to update. We're seeing more and more Wilson freight being interlined at Baltimore again. Heard that a lot of the customers did not like the change and insisted that it be interlined with New Penn. Maybe Ward couldn't handle it, just don't know.
 
Customers cannot request who a company can use for interline or partnership business......Think about it, do you think Wilson is gonna send a trailer with one skid, requested by a former NPME customer all the way up to New Penn....No, no no.

These are very involved business relationships that take months to develop.

I do not doubt what so ever that Wilson will one day return the business to New Penn and take it from Wards and who ever else if handling it, but when it happens it will be an all or nothing deal.
 
Hey Crazy I've got a question. I load city in Memphis and have noticed a big drop in New Penn shipments lately. Was wondering if weather has anything to do with drop or just weeding out bad accounts. GRIZZ
 
grizz, don't think weather has played much of a part in shipment reductions,this is the NE. only real differance this year is the southern part of the NE,got more snow the the northern part usually gets. and bad accounts should have been weeded out by now.it's just shy of a year we have been doing the holland/npme thing. at camp hill,where most of your loads come into, our bill count has dropped from , highs of 1500+ down to around the 800's give or take nightly. not a whole lot more than we had before the full interline deal started. balt.is down to 3-4 loads a night, the other terminal you ship direct to.at it's peak it was at least 10+ loads a night. personaly,think it just shows , wall street and the gov't,just keep on lying about how the economey is comeing back,but i won't go there. while some of our terminals have seemed to have p/ued freight wise, judged by the amount of road men they have been useing lately, it seems to be happening in our NE area.good for us, thats what we do overnight in the NE. i don't beleive anything is being done differantly, that would effect amount of shipments you are getting lately, think it just shows how far away we are from the economey we were use to in the years past.
