OUTBOUND SHIPPING
Because of the recent Electronic Logging Device mandate that went into effect, we have modified how we handle outgoing shipments.
Our new shipment policy is outlined below.
- As of January 15, 2018, all outbound shipments will be done via appointment only.
- Each appointment will be scheduled for a specified time with a one-hour window during which time the driver must check in. Drivers are encouraged to check in ½ hour ahead of the appointment time to ensure a smooth flow of trucks throughout the entire day.
- Any missed appointments will be rescheduled for the next available time. That time could be relatively soon or could extend to the next business day.
- The MST team is committed to loading each truck within a two-hour window from the later of the appointment or arrival time.
- MST ships outbound from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. with confirmed appointments coming out of the Shipping Department by 4 p.m.
- Any questions regarding shipping should be directed to our Shipping Department (Chuck Combs 248.486.0219 or Karen Dargis 248.486.0220 or to your specific inside sales representative).
