Towne Air Freight consistently strives to not only ensure the safety and security of your freight, but to make doing business with us as easy as possible. We'd like to take this opportunity to make you aware of progress that has been made recently in these areas.

We are both pleased and proud to announce that we have completed the new TSA and Homeland Security requirements. We have made upgrades to our terminal security systems--which include video surveillance--and have completed all necessary TSA background checks. This means that you can count on Towne to secure your cargo as it moves through our facilities.

In addition to moving freight safely, we have made it easier to assess accessorial and in bond rates across the board. Effective April 2, our rate card will be adjusted and standardized throughout our network. Fees for each terminal will be the same for every service with few exceptions.
