Say Cargo Express hitting the NAMM Trade Show Floor!

Say Cargo Express was lucky enough to be on the ground floor at the NAMM Show 2013, in Anaheim, CA (closed to the public) and hosted at the Anaheim Convention Center + the surrounding hotels from January 24th – 27th! And all we can say is “WOW”, what an experience, especially if you are into music, instruments, speakers, technology and tons of live concerts! And who isn’t? We deliver to hundreds of different trade shows and conventions and sometimes are lucky enough to roam the floors, but the energy and vibe of this show by far puts it at the top of the list! From celebrities and top musicians just casually walking the halls, to demonstrations of the newest musical technology, to impromptu live concerts in the halls and surrounding hotels made this way more exciting than an ordinary show.

We look forward to continuing to provide more freight/shipping services for the NAMM show and other events at the Convention Center.

AND, a BIG thank you to the SWIAEE chapter for the invite and tour of the NAMM playground!

Expedited Ground Shipping – Air Freight Alternatives are Here!

With another air cargo giant going down (this time the actual asset-based airplane cargo company), many are wondering what they can do to get their Next Day or Two Day shipments from point A to point B without using the FedEx and UPS’ of this world; who have again raised their rates to astronomical levels for AIR…well, Say Cargo Express is here to let you know there are answers, much cheaper answers!

Unless freight is actually going overseas, both small manufacturing companies and large corporations are turning to expedited ground transportation as their #1 way to move their cargo.  Why? “Because its cheaper, just as reliable and the transit time is usually the same or maybe a day or two longer,” says one customer.  “So many times I book with a major airline for air freight and it gets bumped, which can cause another 1-2 day delay.”

Say Cargo Express understands your freight needs and has been handling these type of expedited cargo requests for over 11 years.  And in this changing time of cargo transportation, we continue to lead the way with new networks and routes to serve your needs, plus were supporting US jobs and partner companies owned/operated in the USA.  Of course, we still offer an array of solid air freight services (with size and weight restrictions like everyone else), but we can offer expedited routes to some of your most popular destinations.  Here is a sample of some LTL ground transit times to hot destinations out of the southern California area (dedicated trucks, samedays and specials available as well)…

West Coast – 1 to 2 days

Midwest – 2 to 3 days (with Friday for Monday service available to most points!)

East Coast – 4 to 5 days and in any US or Canada city we can pick-up or deliver your freight for you!

Say Cargo Express’ personalized and trusted asset-based service is here for you 24 hours a day and has been serving corporate America for over a decade. Call 800-510-1270 today to quote your shipments/transit times or go to http://www.saycargo.com/quote.asp for ease online quotes. We look forward to hearing from you and handling your freight and logistical needs into the future!

Say Cargo Express Receives Platinum Supplier Status from WBEC-West!

 From issued Press Release…

 

 

 

52 Women Owned Businesses Designated WBEC-West Platinum Suppliers

Mesa, Ariz. – August 10, 2011 – The Women’s Business Enterprise Council West (WBEC-West), a regional partner of the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC), announced that 52 women owned businesses successfully completed the 5 course Platinum Supplier Program Workshop series this past June. The program is a series of five educational workshops designed by corporations with the goal of providing diverse suppliers the education needed to navigate supplier diversity and procurement programs.

The recipients of the Platinum Supplier designation have distinguished themselves from the norm by demonstrating an extensive comprehension of the process of supplier diversity, corporate procurement expectations, and have excelled in the ability to communicate their company’s capabilities and qualifications to corporations.

The program’s commencement consisted of each graduate presenting their company’s capability statement in front over 40 corporate supplier diversity and procurement representatives including Shell, AT&T, Disney, Verizon and Nestle to name a few. WBEC-West will be launching the next series of workshop the beginning of 2012.

“It is our mission to provide continuous education for our members that will in turn cultivate sustainable relationships between WBEs and corporations. WBEC-West is excited to offer such a valuable educational opportunity to our members that is supported by our corporate members and Board of Directors.” Dr. Pamela Williamson, the Executive Director of WBEC-West.
