Buckman has announced changes to its freight pricing for the pulp and paper industry in North America. Effective November 1, 2018, Buckman will implement the following freight delivery increases:
• Buckman-arranged bulk tank truck orders: $.02 - $.04/lb.
• Buckman-arranged IBC/drum truck orders: $.02/lb.
The change is being driven by the continued shortage of drivers, limited capacity of truck and rail carriers, new freight regulations and rising cost of fuel.
Buckman is a privately-held, global specialty chemical company with headquarters in Memphis, Tennessee.
