Shipment Weight Transportation Service to be Used

a. Use Truckload Carriers when total shipment weighs more than 19,999 lbs or takes up More than 19,999 more than 50% of the trailer. A copy of the B/L for all truckload shipments must be faxed to the NNS Traffic Office at (757) 688-8493 to the attention of Larry Kelly.

Suppliers of Enclosed Trailers

1) Land Star (800) 843-5617 Ship Freight Collect

2) DD Jones (800) 335-1075: Ship Freight Collect

3) Heartland Express (800) 444-4929: Ship Freight Collect

b. Use Flat Bed Trailers when individual pieces of total shipment weigh more than 5,000 pounds or if individual pieces exceed 10 feet in length. Enclosed Trailers cannot be used for material meeting this criterion due to the constraints on forklift lifting capabilities.

Suppliers of Flat Bed Trailers

1) Integrity Transportation (Mercer) (800) 444-9409: Ship Freight Collect

2) Land Star (800) 843-5617 : Ship Freight Collect

3) D.D. Jones (800) 335-1075 : Ship Freight Collect

D: Shipments Sent by Air

***Note*** Only ship by air when explicit instructions to do so are given by an authorized NNS representative. Air Freight For letters and packages up to 150 lbs use FedEx (ship collect to NNS) Unless different account number is specifically given in the Purchase Order or by a NNS representative. Any air freight shipment over 150 lbs must be coordinated through the NNS Traffic office.

E: Shipments by Rail or Barge For shipments by Rail or Barge contact the Newport News Traffic Office.

F: Additional Shipment Information

1. If the purchase order freight terms are FREIGHT COLLECT, the shipper must not ship PREPAID AND ADD. FREIGHT COLLECT is the only way that NNS can utilize negotiated freight rates with preferred carriers. FREIGHT COLLECT is the preferred method, however if it becomes necessary to ship PREPAID AND ADD, the Buyer will advise the supplier and will change the PO to reflect the new terms. When freight rates have been prepaid and added by a supplier, NNS requires that a copy of the paid transportation bill accompany the supplier’s invoice.

2. Do Not Ship C.O.D. This means that the carrier is to collect the cost of the material and freight charges at the time of delivery.

IMPORTANT

Each PO line item must be packaged separately and clearly identified on a separate B/L. Each B/L will indicate the NNS PO Number and Item Number written as follows:

4500123456/24 and show the weight for that item.

This will allow NNS to post the freight charges to the proper hull.
