“We are always gratified when customers entrust their valuable shipments to us,” said Jim Bellinder, vice president, United Cargo Sales. “Accommodating customers who wish to use this technology is part of being easy to do business with. So we are pleased that, by working with the FAA and United’s Engineering experts, we can now offer our customers more options for enhancing the quantity and timeliness of the shipment data they receive.”
Customers who include one of these devices in their shipment should notify United Cargo at the time of booking and enter the manufacturer and device name in the handling information section of the shipment’s air waybill.
