Routing/Shipment Information
At Putzmeister America, we are striving to control inventory and transportation costs to enhance customer value. As a result, listed below are instructions for all shipments from a Putzmeister vendor when Putzmeister is responsible for the freight charges. These instructions do not apply if the vendor is responsible for the freight charges and ships freight prepaid.
- Vendors to ship to Putzmeister America - freight collect unless in product price.
- Vendor to ship to other vendors - freight third party billing to Putzmeister America, Inc., 1733 90th Street, Sturtevant, WI 53177. On Less Than Truckload (LTL) and Truck Load (TL) shipments for vendor to vendor, the bill of lading should reflect the vendor as the shipper with the third party instructions on the bill of lading.
