The Special Offer…

We’re offering big savings on the dock-level shipments that you have a bit more advanced warning on. Give us a minimum of four hours notice and you can get same-day (or next-day, depending what time you call it in and/or when your destination closes for the day) service for dock-level delivery of your 1-12 skid-spot order.

• Rush-style delivery without hassle of dealing with a national courier.
• Savings range from $15 to $95 per order.
• Same-day/next-day dock-level service lets INDEX do even more for our regular customers.
• Ship dock-level locally for as low as $13 a skid.
• Ship more freight, save more money!

At INDEX, we will always specialize in expedite deliveries of high priority orders for top named manufacturers and supply companies. But that doesn’t mean we can’t pull out a  few extra stops to serve even more of the logistics needs of our favourite clients.

For INDEX, this has meant working with some of our favourite clients several times a day. For others, we’re literally shipping parts every 2 hours around the clock to help them keep up with their clients’ demand.

And just to make sure we can cover everything too (and offer a few more services to boot) INDEX has added two more extended cargo vans (3/4 and a 1 tonne), a Canada/US minivan, and a 24 foot straight truck  with a tail gate.

Canadian Solar Inc. is proposing to open a plant that produces the  solar panels. And it’s not looking to be a small project, either. According to The London Free Press on December 4, 2009, the proposed project expects to be “one of the largest solar panel manufacturing sites in North America.”

Looks like the tech triangle is turning green!

In between calls, we’ve been updating the look of our website and updating some of the client, fleet and company information so that you (our current and potential clients) can get a better feel for what’s new, what more we can do for you, and of course, who we are as people and as a company.

If you’re just logging on for the first time, don’t hesitate to post your comments and suggestions so that we can make our online presence easy and useful for our favourite express freight clients. We’d love to hear from you!

Happy New Year!

Index has provided Engel Canada Inc. with a professional, reliable, cost effective service that is vital in today’s business world.

Index has helped Engel Canada Inc. consolidate our transportation needs and most imoprtantly helped us achieve cost savings to support the company operational goals.

Engel Canada Inc. has confidence when using Index, knowing the job will get done.

I see no reason why any other company would see it differently.

“I have dealt with Brian and Janice for 99% of all our courier needs for nearly 10 years now. Some key observations about their work for us:

1)  Both Janice and Brian respond very fast to any shipping needs we have in terms of dispatching them.

2) Index drivers are not only courteous but also super diligent in ensuring loads are handled safely and quickly.

3) Index has lots of drivers and lots of assorted sizes of vehicles….I do not believe it is an exaggeration to say their company has more vehicles at its disposal than any of their closest competitors.

4) Index’s shipping rates are 2nd to none. Our monthly bills are kept so low that I know for a fact their rates have helped us win contracts and keep current customers in the super competitive world in which we run our business.

A real good measure of a company is the turnaround of employees. I know at least 4 of the Index brokers have been with them nearly 14 years. That tells me that Index is a great company to work for and a great supplier. The way they treat your staff is an indication that we have the right company for our shipping needs.
You can have any new accounts call me for a verbal reference any time. I will be glad to do this!”

I call Brian at INDEX because I know that I can place my delivery in ten seconds or less and that we’re on the same page.

This is why I’ve trusted INDEX with all of my express freight for the past year and a half and I know that we’ll do business together for years to come.”
