Dear customer. Outbound freight volume from California is at unprecedented level. This has caused a huge capacity crunch with both intermodal and over the road providers with rates reaching historical levels.  Clear Lane offers economy service at rates considerably lower than asset based LTL carriers. With the increased volume and limited capacity we have been forced to source capacity at much higher costs. As of result of the increased costs, Clear Lane is implementing a "California Capacity Surcharge" of $30.00 per shipment, effective July 31st. This surcharge will be in effect until further notice and will affect shipments originating  in California, Arizona and Nevada. As of result of the capacity crunch shippers can expect delays in transit of shipments originating from the region. We continue closely monitoring COVID-19 updates and news to address questions/concerns and to plan accordingly from a business continuity standpoint. We will keep you updated if there will be any changes to our operational capabilities. SOCIAL DISTANCING ITEM 851 As a result of federal guidelines from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) regarding “Social Distancing” and to protect employees and others from potential exposure to the coronavirus, we have instituted the following guidelines in lieu of a delivery receipt. Drivers will be logging the date and time of the delivery, the place of delivery, the name of the individual who received the shipment (if available). HOLIDAY SCHEDULE: We are closed on New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day (to include July 3rd this year), Labor Day, Thanksgiving (along with the following day), Christmas Eve, and Christmas.
