Tips for Shippers

1. Industrial/Commercial Delivery Coordination:
   • For factories or warehouses, specify dock hours and equipment needs (e.g., “Need forklift for 20 pallets at Eureka Industrial Park”).

   • Sea Freight via St. Louis with Inland Rail: Cost-effective for non-urgent bulk orders (e.g., 50+ tons of industrial materials).
   • Air Freight via STL: Ideal for urgent repairs (e.g., “Rush shipment of factory parts”) or time-sensitive e-commerce restocks.
4. Insurance Coverage:
   • High-value industrial equipment ($10k+ per piece) or fragile electronics should be insured with all-risk coverage (5–8% of shipment value), including protection against transit delays or weather damage.
