KMX International , Hamburg , PA won the Specialized Carrier and Rigging Association Two Transportation Group Safety Awards, FLEET SAFETY AWARD and the ZERO ACCIDENT AWARD for 2018, At the recent April 2019 SC&RA Annual Meetings in California. Given the hazards of our industry, we have great satisfaction knowing that each employee goes home to his/her family, the same way as they arrived to work each day. The only way core values can be realized within the organization is through attention to safety from the top down. Receiving the Zero Accident Award is a visual reminder that the company’s core values are shared among all employees. This is one of the leading factors of our continued success.
Awards are always an advantage when “selling” our company’s services to a customer. More and more, RFQ’s are requiring detailed safety information in order to be considered as a bidder. Between social media posts and the many safety awards won over the years displayed in our lobby, we let customers know the commitment we have to a safe work culture. This is something we take great pride in.

After some COVID 19 scheduling delays with the fabrication vendor, KMX transported this piece from the vendor facility to the KMX Hamburg WH, export prepped/packed, and transported cargoes to the Port of export, ensuring that the INCOTERMS of Door USA to FOB Vessel were met without incident and on time. This allowed their customer to get paid in a timely manner from their global customer.

This particular unit measured 57’ long x 15’-10” wide x 12’-6” high – and weighed in at 92,500 lbs.

Export project – KMX crews are keeping busy staying ahead of a time-sensitive shipping schedule. To fulfill our customer’s contract, KMX transported from Southeastern US to KMX’s Hamburg, Pa facility. We then export packaged and delivered to USEC port ahead of schedule. Contact KMX today, we are your “one stop” logistics provider.

Coming and Going – KMX crews have been busy keeping pace with an export shipment’s LOC deadline. Due to COVID-19 work restrictions in Pennsylvania, unfinished equipment has been transported to other states for completion adding costs for the customer and loosing valuable time. Even with these unforeseen interruptions, KMX has been able to keep the project on schedule by providing dedicated transportation services and expediting packaging turnaround times.

Export shipment – KMX completed a rush shipment meeting customer’s short packaging timeline. KMX transported this oversized / overweight unit to our Hamburg, PA facility, export boxed, and delivered to USEC port in time to meet vessel cutoff date… all within a 7 day window. Although the customer experienced testing delays jeopardizing the shipping schedule, the machine sailed on the original vessel avoiding costly construction penalties.

Export Project update – KMX crews are working to stay ahead of the next sailing. This piece (43’Lx 13’Wx 11’H) was packaged within a tight timeline to meet the shipping schedule. Additional equipment that of similar size is en route to KMX’s Hamburg, PA facility. Updates to follow!

Multiple Export Projects – All with same time line, causing our crews in overtime to meet the demands – KMX crews have been working overtime on two major projects. KMX drivers have been transporting equipment from suppliers to Hamburg for Export Boxing, dropping trailers and picking up loaded trailers with Export Boxed Cargo for delivery to East Coast Port Facilities with strict delivery and sailing dates. The KMX Crews are able to “Step Up” and “Keep Up” with the demand!

Import / plant expansion project update – KMX’s Hamburg, PA facility just received the 105th truckload for this project, with additional cargo yet to arrive.

Project expected to continue over the next several months, with additional updates to follow.
