NEASE adjusting drum/tote bin charges – October 1st , 2009

Cincinnati, OH - Effective October 1st , 2009, Nease Corporation will be adjusting drum/tote bin charges. Differentials over bulk pricing will move to $0.15/lb and $0.20/lb respectively for truck load (TL) and less than truck load (LTL) quantities. This change will apply to all list customers as well as those off list customers where agreements allow.

Nease has not changed its differentials for several years despite the fact that packaging and labor costs have risen steadily. We believe these new differentials are still in line and consistent with the rest of the industry.

Please feel free to contact your Nease account representative if you have any questions or need further information.
As always we appreciate your business as well as your support and understanding.
