Thanksgiving Line haul schedule – The Line haul will run overnight on Wed Nov 24th with freight available at destinations on Fri Nov 26th, and then again as normal on Sunday Nov 28th with freight availability at the local Stations on Monday morning Nov 29th.
The Line Haul will not run between Stations after Wed 24th until Sunday Nov 28th.
Thanksgiving Local Stations schedule – Stations will operate normally Wednesday 24th, and be closed on Thursday 25th.
Friday 26th: We will only run ‘skeleton staff/drivers’ at all locations, and most Stations will shut early expecting that many consignees will not be accepting freight as they will also be closed.
Please confirm any expected pick-ups or deliveries for Friday before the start of Thanksgiving with the appropriate Station.
Please all note that effective Noon Fri 12th Nov that we have terminated our relationship with American Linehaul/PILOT. We operate the trucks and terminals running out of ATL into GSP, CLT, GSO, CAE and CHS. We are happy to provide a direct service for you, but priority on capacity will be given to business where we are the last or first mile consignee as well. If you wish to book freight into and around the Carolinas please contact the ATL terminal on 404-684-4805 or Mike Ritter via mritter@specialservice.net.
Any further questions please email contact@specialservice.net
8AM recoveries from GSP Mon-Fri, same day delivery in AVL points A-C.
Drops back to GSP are next day
Introductory rate GSP to AVL or AVL to GSP is $28 MIN and $6/CWT plus Fuel Surcharge.
AVL will also continue daily pick-ups and drops through the CLT facility.
Special Service regrets the unavoidable need to follow suit with other Asset-Based Logistics Companies and initiate a Nov 29th 2021 General Rate Increase.
This increase will add 5% to weight rates tariffs, 10% to ‘Specials’, and any ‘Accessorials’ that are impacted by increased Labor and Materials costs will also be affected.
We do hope that this increase will be sufficient to take us through to the end of 2022, but cannot be certain of this.
PLEASE PASS THIS ONTO ALL YOUR OPERATIONS TEAMS, MANAGEMENT AND PAYABLES DEPARTMENTS WITHOUT DELAY.
Thank you.
