CEVA Announcement

CEVA launches Saturday Night Expedite service enhancement to Consolidated Border Truck program

Houston, Texas, 26 April 2011 – CEVA Logistics, a leading global supply chain management company, today announced the addition of Saturday Night Expedite to its Consolidated Border Truck (CBT) program. The new offering provides services for Saturday deliveries into the U.S. from Mexico that need to arrive in the Midwest or Ontario, Canada by Monday morning.

Saturday Night Expedite is the latest addition to a variety of services offered through CEVA’s CBT program.  Originally developed for freight from the U.S./Mexican border to support Just in Time plants in the Midwest and in Canada, the program has since evolved into a flexible and customizable solution based on customer feedback.  The Saturday Night Expedite service was designed to answer new delivery demands, as automotive companies, in particular, find that if freight is not delivered on time, the plant could face significant production costs.

“2011 looks to be another outstanding year as our border truck program has started very strongly and we are adding valuable new services like the Saturday Night Expedite,” said Ron Wituski, Manager of Business Development for Domestic Premium and Expedited Services for CEVA. “We are pleased to be able to meet and exceed our customers’ needs by optimizing deliveries and ultimately saving them time and money.”

Saturday Night Expedite is generating strong early customer interest and already accounts for a significant piece of the CBT program. “CEVA continues to break new barriers by offering these types of integrated solutions that illustrate our strong commitment to our customers,” added Wituski.
