Why Choose Kingston as a Destination?

• Northeastern Industrial and Residential Hub:
  • Proximity to I-81 and the Scranton-Wilkes-Barre metro area enables efficient distribution to the Northeast. Providers specialize in navigating rural road networks and delivering to both industrial sites and suburban homes.
• Cargo Flexibility:
  • Handle diverse goods, including:
    • Industrial Components: Parts for manufacturing, mining, or energy sectors.
    • Residential Goods: Furniture, appliances, and household items for historic home renovations or new constructions.
    • Commercial Supplies: Inventory for local stores, office equipment, and restaurant supplies.
• Weather-Resilient Planning:
  • Providers account for Pennsylvania’s snowy winters and rainy springs, offering heated trucking for sensitive cargo and proactive rerouting during inclement weather via alternate routes like PA-29.

Tips for Shippers

• Industrial/Residential Delivery Coordination:
  • For industrial sites, specify dock hours and safety protocols (e.g., hard hat requirements); for residential deliveries, provide driveway access details and gate codes if applicable.
• Cargo Preparation:
  • Label shipments with Kingston’s zip code (18704) and include a contact phone number. Use heavy-duty packaging for machinery parts and ensure commercial invoices list HS codes accurately.
• Transit Time Optimization:
  • Sea freight via Baltimore is cost-effective for non-urgent bulk orders; air freight via PHL is ideal for urgent repairs or seasonal inventory.
• Insurance Coverage:
  • High-value equipment or fragile items (e.g., $5k+ machinery, antiques) should be insured with all-risk coverage (3–5% of shipment value), including protection against weather-related delays.
