HOLLAND, Mich. – USF Holland, a subsidiary of YRC Worldwide Inc., announced the launch of its new guaranteed service to and from Canada.  All guaranteed and expedited services are backed by the USF Holland’s no-hassle, claim-free guarantee to be on-time and intact or no invoice will be sent.

USF Holland is the first regional LTL, less-than-truckload to offer time-specific Guaranteed Delivery before 3:30 p.m. between the US and Canada.  The company states that service by noon and by 9:00, now offered within the U.S. domestic system of USF Holland, will be offered between Canada and the U.S. later this year.

 Customers can use the transit time calculator on the USF Holland web site, USFnet.com, and enter the origin and destination zip codes to see what delivery options are available,  what destinations are available, and to determine the price.

 “We have experienced an increased volume of shipping to and from Canada,” said John O’Sullivan, President of USF Holland.  “For shipments crossing the border, there is an increased need for speed and precision just as we have seen for domestic U.S. shipments.   We are committed to matching the needs of our growing customer base. As such, USF Holland has tuned the process for shipments crossing the border so that our customers will receive the same speed, reliability and damage-free services provided elsewhere in our system.”
