New Penn develops service alert

 
   New Penn, a Pennsylvania-based less-than-truckload carrier, has launched a service alert process that will inform its shippers about situations that could impact their supply chains.
   Aimed largely at addressing the seasonal effects of winter weather, the new email-based alert and its corresponding Web page will provide detailed information about weather, natural disasters, and other circumstances that can impact service.
   “A consistent flow of goods prevents production delays, stockouts and strained customer or vendor relationships,” said Steve Gast, president of New Penn.
   New Penn offers LTL services in the United States, Quebec, Canada, and Puerto Rico.
