Freezable Shipment Reminder
As the winter season progresses and the temperature falls below freezing, we would like to remind you of a couple important precautionary measures to take when shipping freezable:
  • "PROTECT FROM FREEZING" must be written in a clear conspicuous place on the Bill of Lading - Preferably with a larger font.  Highlighted or bolded would be helpful to make it stand out.
  • Tagging the actual freight as being "Freezable" is recommended but not required (it is required on the BOL)
  • When possible, deter from shipping Freezable on a Friday, as this is the time when freight may sit in a warehouse or trailer and become prone to freezing.
  •  If you do ship freezable product on a Friday PLEASE call us in advance. Special provisions will need to be made at an additional cost for we do not have a temperature controlled terminal.   

Remember to follow these four important instructions when shipping freezable because we can only protect and become liable for those shipments with properly marked bill of ladings! 

 
Driver Appreciation
We would like to congratulate Fabio Acevedo for earning his Class A Tractor Trailer license!

Fabio started working here at AMA back in 2001 as a warehouse employee.  From there, he decided to get his Class B license and three and a half years later he became a box-truck driver for AMA.  After hard work and long hours of prepping and studying he finally got his class A and is now able to drive an eighteen wheeler.

When we asked Fabio what his key to success in driving was, he replied, "Waking up everyday with a happy and positive attitude. I try and do the best I can each and every day."

Thanks Fabio we appreciate it and keep up the good work!
