Specialty Freight Shipper Serves Eastern Nebraska/Western Iowa Communities.
Craters & Freighters, a national chain of specialty freight packing and shipping franchises, announced the grand opening of a new center to serve Omaha, Lincoln, Council Bluffs and surrounding communities in Eastern Nebraska/Western Iowa. The facility provides consumers and businesses with one-stop shopping for pick-up, crating, packing, transportation and insurance coverage of items that are too large, fragile, valuable or uniquely shaped for traditional shippers.
Craters & Freighters has shipped everything from the phone booth that Al Capone used to run his business to an Andy Warhol painting to an entire F-15 flight simulator. Increasingly, Craters & Freighters has focused its wide array of services on industrial and commercial markets, including the manufacturing, electronics/semiconductors, metals, software, and computer industries. Craters & Freighters also serves traditional markets, such as art and antique dealers that have come to rely on the company to expertly package and ship large, fragile and valuable items for more than a decade.
“The demand for specialty shipping is booming in Nebraska and Iowa,” said Mike Jones, owner of the Eastern Nebraska franchise. “And, as more Nebraska/Iowa based companies capitalize on consumers’ attraction to making online purchases; we expect many of our orders to come through our web site. We see huge growth potential in this market.”
With the establishment of the Eastern Nebraska franchise, consumers in Nebraska and Iowa now will have access to Craters & Freighters full portfolio of domestic and international shipping services. The company offers a cutting-edge e-Quote system that enables online customers to get instant packing, transportation, and insurance shipping quotes on demand at any time of the day or night.
