ASBA Forges Partnership with

Yellow

New Agreement Allows Members to Access Special Discounted Shipping Rate

Mary Helen Sprecher

ASBA continues to work on behalf of its members to help access new and better ways of doing business. Case in point: The Association’s new relationship with Yellow.

Yellow is a leading transporter of industrial, commercial and retail goods, specializing in solutions for businesses across North America through a full-service network, advanced information technologies and proactive customer service. And now, with the new agreement in place, the company will offer special rates to member companies.

Yellow offers a wide range of services, in cluding transportation of materials across the U.S. and Canada, domestic ocean service, freeze protection service and even transportation of hazardous materials. Next-day delivery is available. Plus, ASBA members can use Yellow to move exhibit materials and equipment to trade shows and conventions. (In fact, Yellow has a 24/7 dedicated national tradeshow team, accelerated service and 30 days of free storage when shipping to a show).

Erica Rosignolo, Yellow’s Director of Inside Sales, Tradeshow & Associations, said that Yellow best works with companies who are aware of the market.

“Always have options,” she says, “as the shipping industry is consistently changing. To avoid unexpected costs, be aware of freight characteristics, lanes, packaging, pick up and delivering accessorials (lift gate, construction sites). Taking the time to have your freight needs, including your inbound freight, evaluated by a professional will result in more options to extend quality expectations to your customers.”
