BAXSaver extends BAX Global’s mode-neutral service throughout North America

BAX Global Inc. has expanded its BAXSaver service to include time-definite, door-to-door delivery between the U.S. and Canada to major business regions in Mexico.

BAXSaver is a distance-based, zone-priced transportation service with no size or weight restrictions. BAXSaver will initially be available between the U.S., Canada and the main business areas of Mexico City, Guadalajara, Saltillo, Chihuahua, San Luis Potosi and Monterrey.

“With the launch of BAXSaver into Mexico, BAX now has expanded the reach of our integrated air and surface network throughout North America. Our network can now offer total flexibility at various service levels for customers working with suppliers in Mexico. Delivery options now include Guaranteed and Standard Overnight to time-definite BAXSaver,” said Joseph L. Carnes, president, BAX Global Inc.

The expanded service is based on similar time commitments established with BAXSaver throughout the USA, with additional days added for delivery to Mexico or Canada, depending on location and customs requirements. Offering a service similar to Premium LTL, BAXSaver mostly utilizes the BAX expedited surface network, but the air network is utilized for some lane segments when necessary to meet delivery requirements between the most distant locations.
