UST uses one shipping technique and, as long as I've been doing
business with them, one freight company. The company is more of a broker,
contacting independent truckers for freight requirements. The main advantage
is
that they ship directly from the factory to the buyer with no intermediate
handling, thus driving their freight damage claims to just about zero.
Crank-up tower freight damage is a huge problem and that's their workable
solution.
