Tips for Shippers

• Industrial/Distribution Center Coordination:
  • For rail yards or warehouses, specify railcar requirements (e.g., flatbed, refrigerated) and delivery windows to align with loading schedules.
• Cargo Preparation:
  • Label shipments with Kansas City, KS zip codes (66101–66109) and include a contact phone number. Use heavy-duty packaging for machinery and anti-static materials for electronics.
• Transit Time Optimization:
  • Sea freight via Houston with inland rail is cost-effective for non-urgent bulk orders; air freight via MCI is ideal for urgent aerospace parts or e-commerce restocks.
• Insurance Coverage:
  • High-value industrial equipment or fragile aerospace components should be insured with all-risk coverage (3–5% of shipment value), including protection against rail transit delays or weather disruptions.
